Polling place asking which party you wanted to vote for?

[an-art-worker.livejournal.com]

Hi - I voted at Dilboy and they asked me who I was going to vote for (in order, I guess to give me a red or blue ballot). I was a bit taken aback since I can't recall ever having been asked before. The people at the desk said they didn't know why they were asking- they just asked and marked down my response. (the blue pill). There was no independent option.

Anyone know what is up with this? A primary thing?

Is there any way to determine party affiliation according to who has and who has not shoveled their sidewalks after storms?

Yeah, I probably should have left this one. There's no challenge in it.

Sure thing. I got served. Etc.

Do please keep in mind, though, that the answer for "Polling place asking which party you wanted to vote for?" was given on at least two previous occasions: before the voter registration deadline (http://community.livejournal.com/davis_square/1110821.html) and yesterday (http://community.livejournal.com/davis_square/1136881.html).

thank you for your continued diligence

it's hard to pull off an air of world-weary sophistication when you have a history of asking really dumb questions.

Well, you can just assume everyone's a democrat around here, anyway...

(I've shoveled the sidewalk for my building every storm this season, and I'm not one, fyi... officially "unregistered"...)

Unregistered? Or just unenrolled (independent)?

unenrolled. I was up too late.
