why can't you vote in the primary election for either a democrat or a republican if you register as a republican? would it not be better to register as a democrat and be able to vote either way than to register as a republican and be limited?
It never has voted for a Republican in a presidential election. The 23rd Amendment, ratified in 1961, gave Washington D.C. the right to cast electoral votes for a president. Since then, it has always cast its votes for a Democrat (even in 1984 when Minnesota was the only state to vote for Mondale over Reagan).
Electoral voting is when after the popular vote, which is tallied up and made public in November 6th , the electoral college begins to decide whether or they vote to be republican or democratic. it is a very long process and the results are announced in december.
