That doesn't mean shit. I am a registered Republican in Texas. I vote in every primary, desperately trying to get a more reasonable candidate on the ballot (it hasn't worked yet). Come general election day, I vote straight D. For the races I don't know, I use the Austin Chronicle's endorsement list.
We have open primaries. You don't have to register Republican.
That being said, I'm registered independent. It's none of anyone's business that I'm a social Democrat.
I did that in 2000 assuming that I had to and I never changed it or, honestly, looked into if I had to.
Totally get it. And honestly in Texas it doesn't matter so it's not worth changing.
This always seems self defeating to me. At least register as Independent so you can vote in primaries for the secret Democrats also trying to play this game.
