Did you Know??...
There are many of you who do not know that it doesn't matter if you are Republican or Democrat, and depending on your State's rules, you can vote in the primaries and especially in the general elect for either party candidate...Here is something for you to consider when it comes time for your vote in the primiaries, check with your States' policy on voting if you are a Democrat and wish to vote as a Republican, and vice versa if you are a Republican and wish to vote a Democrat President.
Moreover, if you vote in the general election come November your Presidential choice, YOU have the right and freedom as an American registered voting citizen to vote either party check this out...If you are a Democrat you can vote for a Republican... if you are a Republican you can vote for a Democrat. Therefore, if you're in South Carolina and you're a Democrat and would like to vote for a Republican in the primary, check with your State's rules and then go to the polls and vote your choice... same if you are a Republican and would like to vote for a Democrat... and you can do the same in November... vote as you please for the person you would like to be President of our great country!
You don't have to settle for Trump, Rubio, Cruz, Bush, or any of the candidate if you are a Republican if you wish to vote Democrat... neither do you have to settle for Hilary or Bernie just because you are a Democrat and wish to vote for a Republican... just is called YOUR RIGHTS TO FREEDOM OF CHOICE...
Questioned Asked by a viewer: i voted in the democratic primary, can i vote republican in the presidential election?
FYI.. Answer:
Answer from MrItty: Absolutely! Your party affiliation only matters for the primary elections (and even then, not in every state). Once the general election gets here, every citizen can (and, IMO, should) vote for the person they best feel should be the President. Your party affiliation, your previous votes in primaries, your previous votes in previous general elections - they're all irrelevant.
It's important to understand that unlike some other nations, in the United States' general elections, you are not "voting Republican" or "voting Democrat". You are voting for a specific person. The party does not win the election, the person does. For one, there is no button that says "vote Republican" that would cast your vote for every Republican candidate for every office. If you want to vote for every Republican, you have to specifically vote for each Republican. For another, in a hypothetical situation, if the Republican nominee who was on the ballot was for some reason unable to fulfill the role of the office he/she wins, the Republicans cannot simply choose another Republican as a replacement - the party did not win, the now-ineligable person won, and so the people have to choose a replacement (either via direct election, or via their representatives in local/state/federal government, depending on the office we're talking about).
So yes, regardless of how you voted in the Primary or Caucus (or even IF you voted), you are free to vote for absolutely anyone you choose in the general election in November.
