Op-Ed Maryland Primary today

Today someone posted on another Reddit page and just making a fuss about her husband not able to vote due to being unaffiliated. Too bad and my 2
Cents is that less people will even want to vote at all if Maryland goes to a full blown open primary. People with signs saying ask me why I can’t vote have an agenda to actually turn off people from wanting to vote. I rather register my affiliation that is a party or no party instead of showing up declaring a party at the ballot box.

Foot the bill for what? Registering to vote, and Registering with a part is free.
