I figured I should not change parties but rather continue to vote for responsible republicans in the primaries. My mom is an independent on Tuesday she went down to vote and was told there were no candidates to vote on as an independent.

What? Turned her away? How stupid is that? So much for Republicans trying to win Independents.
