      I don’t even think Michigan voter registration asks for party affiliation. I’ve never been a party member and frankly I don’t think anyone is a member of any party unless they are an elected official or maybe part of their campaign.

      To say “I’m a Democrat” or “I’m a Republican”, to me, is to say, “I believe what I’m told to believe and I vote how I’m told to vote.”

      That said, I can imagine it’s different in places where you have to declare an affiliation in order to vote in the elections you want to vote in.
