    Eh, I don’t vote in the primary because I don’t get a primary ballot (have to be registered to a major party). I occasionally change my vote to the majority party in my state if there’s a candidate I dislike enough. But that’s because I live in Utah, and the only primary that matters here is the GOP one (esp. in my district where the GOP gets like 80% of the vote). I remember switching when Mike Lee was up for re-election so I could vote against him twice, and maybe I’ll do it again when he’s up for reelection again, but I keep my registration w/ a third party because I think juicing their stats is more valuable than voting in either primary.

      I used to change my registration every election based on what party was actually having a primary. I still try to, but sometimes I just never get around to it.

        I only do it if I really like or dislike a candidate, most years I don’t bother.

        One great part about not being registered to a major party is that I don’t get people asking me to sign stuff.
