  1. Would it be possible to note which primaries/caucuses require Party registration (i.e. closed) and which allow non-registered Party affiliation(i.e.open) voting?

  3. I found a mistake. I think both the North Carolina primaries are on May 6. They are listed separately above, as one being on Super Tuesday. I checked both my county’s website, and this generic one: http://www.usaelectionpol.....olina.html

  9. Massachusetts is on February 5th, not March. Also, as one reader mentioned above, information on Open/Closed would be incredibly helpful.
    Thanks.

  11. As we enter the hot politcal season remember those immoral words from JFK:


    Ask not what people in power can do for you…
    Ask what you can do for people in power.
