Just got back from trying to vote in the NY primary. I'm registered as Conservative, and was told that only Democrats and Republicans can vote in the primary because other parties, in this case, the Conservative party, only have one candidate listed. I guess it's good they limit voting to people who are registered to a particular party, but what got me is when I asked about showing my i.d. (before being told I couldn't vote), and said it wasn't needed. I asked why not and was told "you'll have to ask your representatives about that". I said it wouldn't matter, since this is NY, and Democrats want all the illegal votes they can get :) They didn't laugh, so I assume they are Democrats :)
