There is still occasionally value in voting in the primaries, although there are other cans of worms when it comes to how they function in different states.
(And thanks for causing me to remember that I need to update my voter registration so I can vote in the Dem primaries this year.)
EDIT: Damnit, I misremembered the deadline. It’s 3 months, not 90 days, to change party affiliations in Connecticut to be eligible to vote in the primaries (since I forgot to disaffiliate after the last primary).
Today is 90 days until the primary. Monday was the actual deadline. I of course didn’t realize the error in memory until after I submitted an updated registration…so I’m locked out of voting in either primary.
That’s a shame because it looks like the primary race for Connecticut’s first congressional district is potentially competitive. (The incumbent lost the party nomination at convention, but qualified for a vote in August.)
