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,

You can either vote in the republican primary or the Dem but not both in
Ohio.
It's either or.
Nobody keeps track of who you vote for specifically.

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.

However, that only applies to the primary, and they don't know *which*
Republican you voted for 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.

Here in Maryland you can get the voter rolls and find out who is
registered and which party they are registered in and whether they voted
in the Democrat or Republican primary or presidential election in the
last two elections.

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.

Same here in NJ. My son's girlfriend had an internship in Washington with
the RNC last spring, and she looked me up -- 'knew I was registered
Republican, which primaries I voted in, and which elections I voted in. I
think she was able to go back for decades.
