changing my registration to "no party" as it states on the NYS voter registration form, it won't take effect until after the GE anyway. I will still be listed as a Democrat for the next six and a half months.

Then I'd be unable to switch back to Dem to vote in a primary the next year because in NYS the deadline to change registration is in October - which may be the earliest such deadline in the country.

We have very regressive, onerous voting laws in this state. I think it should be made as easy as possible to vote or change registration - it's our vote not theirs -fuck the PTB. I'm inclined to be independent for good.
