The records, she said, showed he voted Republican in the March
primary.

John, I would hope she meant registered Rep. and not voted Rep. I'd
like to think it's still a secret ballot.

Best,

Ohio has a strange primary system, but if you're registered
Republican after you come out of the primary voting booth, they know
you voted Republican and the whole world can know it, if they're
interested. It doesn't matter how you were registered *before* you
voted in the primary.

I don't know how many states are like this Ed but in those that are you
get
one ballot or the other.
They keep track to prevent voting in both.

Right. I don't mean to imply there's anything wrong with the system, only
that you can change your registration on the spot by requesting a ballot for
a party for which you're not registered. If you do that, it automatically
switches your registration to that of the party for which you requested a
ballot.

It looks like a good system to me. It's just that you don't have to
pre-register for a particular party.
