"Unenrolled" is the default designator.
Switch back whenever you wish; however, you won't be able to vote in the June Dem. primary (winnowing out process).

JPK: we had at least three *weeks* of absentee voting. All town caucus start times were indicated clearly (and well in advance) on the MDP's portal (including convener contact info). Stop whining.

It boggles my mind at the amount of fully grown adults in this state who are clueless about changing voter registration!
If they'd enrolled previous to the caucuses, it would've saved the conveners and participants a whole lotta headaches/time.
Scary.
Enroll/unenroll via DMV or your town hall/city clerk's office anytime, people.
And a hearty thank you & props to Knutson, Moran, and Spencer for following the will of the people (who bothered to show up & participate)!

Oh, thats right - they CANT.
The information age and the media have long provided enough access and information for the average person to make their own decisions in the voting booth. Its time to eliminate antiquated tools such as Super-Delegates and the Electoral College. The candidate with the most votes should win.
It can be that simple.report abuse

I still want to know why Ken Curtis is a 'super-delegate' in Maine, when he lives in Florida. The man is not a resident of Maine, so just how can the party justify his status as a representative of Maine voters?
