Mar 2019

myself and my son are all registered unenrolled (what "independents" are called in MA). We never vote for Repubs for President (and I don't vote for any Repub for any seat). My brother on the other hand is unenrolled and usually votes Repub or Libertarian.

In MA there are more people registered unenrolled than either major party - it's been a long time since MA voters chose a Repub for President.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
