even if I don't agree with who they voted for

I mean, it's a Republican primary, were there any better options? There was certainly at least one worse one

Four registered Republican voters and two independents participated in the vote

My mistake. I thought this part meant they had an open primary. It looks like they just pick what ballot they want.

In my state, Independents don't get to vote at all in a primary. That's the only reason I have a party affiliation.

NH even lets you register to vote at the polling place. (Your ballot is provisional until you prove residency)

That seems like a positive thing.

What a mishmash of systems we have to vote in this country!
