In the last election, I noticed that on my absentee ballot I was registered with a party that I do not affiliate myself with. Towards the election I was getting all kinds of phone calls from this party encouraging me to go out and vote despite the fact that I was not going to vote for their candidate. The last time I noticed this and made some inquiries to change my registration status, I registered "Independent" only to find that I was now registered with the Independent Party.
I want to register to vote, but I do not want to be affiliated with any political party. Shouldn't I be able to do this? Imagine I am a recent (legal) immigrant to this country trying to register to vote, it seems like a real deceitful thing to do to insist they register with a party when they hardly know what is going on. Since when am I legally obliged to register with a party in order to be able to vote? Is that constitutional?
