I am one of the 75% of voters that did not vote.  I am not registered as a democrat or a republican.  Because of this, I was not able to vote on all of the races that I cared about (senator, governor, state representative, etc.)

I am considering registering for one of the parties just so that I can have more of a say in primaries, but I find myself agreeing with one side half the time, and with the other side the other half of the time.  It will be hard to choose which party to register for.
