Goddamit!
Florida is supposed to have closed primaries. Take a look at this Sun-Sentinel article:
In northern Coral Springs, near the Sawgrass Expressway and Coral Ridge Drive, David Nirenberg arrived to vote as an independent. Nevertheless, he said poll workers insisted he choose a party ballot."He said to me, 'Are you Democrat or Republican?' I said, 'Neither, I am independent.' He said, 'Well, you have to pick one,''' Nirenberg said.
In Florida, only those who declare a party are allowed to cast a vote in that party's presidential primary.
Nirenberg said he tried to explain to the poll worker that he should not vote on a party ballot because of his "no party affiliation" status.
Nirenberg said a second poll worker was called over who agreed that independents should not use party ballots, but said they had received instructions to the contrary.
"He said, 'Ya know, that is kind of funny, but it was what we were told.' … I was shocked when they told me that." Nirenberg said he went ahead and voted for John McCain.
This is total bullshit. John McCain has reached the very verge of becoming the nominee of the Republican party by appealing to Democrats and Independents and now the freaking Broward County elections people are trying to throw him a bone here to.

'Rique -
This is utter "Caca de Toro" - in NJ, Imagine Hudson County, Home of Menendez, who is RIGHT ON CUBA and wrong on everything else - an "INDEPENDENT", a/k/a Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road, voter DOES NOT GET TO VOTE in a Party Primary unless they declare "a Party" on election day. I am still a "D" voter for primary purposes. I will try to change to vote for Romney as I did NOT vote in the last "D" primary. If "Not Allowed", I will vote for Sen. Barak Hussein Obama in the "D" Primary - anything to keep the cross between Eva Peron and Nurse Wratched, who I met in 1974, from becoming president. We'all parted company at that time when she asserted that former President Nixon was NOT entitled to legal representation, as "Impeachment was the Same as Losing a Job" back then. NO HILLARY - Impeachment is NOW as it was then more than that. It is/was a POLITICAL ACT, a/k/a/ Legal Coup d'Etat. OXES get "Gored", when it is yours - IT HURTS -, When it is "the other guy's/gal's" - SO WHAT??
This is why I will NEVER be comfortable with all'y'all becoming President of the US. AND unlike friends of mine, IF, all'y'all do - THE REPUBLIC WILL SURVIVE - long after all'y'all are a BAD MEMORY!
