Nov 2024

I have been registered in NJ to vote since 1977. Never voted anywhere else. I live in a suburban town where townspeople have actually declared that this is a “Trump” town. Not one Harris/Walz sign. 70% voted for him in 2020.

In 2020 I changed my status from unaffiliated to Democrat so I could vote in the primary. I changed back last year. My voting records currently show unaffiliated again. It is so easy to track your status online.

I don’t know of any purge, and we do have a democratic governor at the moment. It is possible that when all of NJ had to vote by mail back in 2020, records got updated online and it was simply a mistake. I wouldn’t think anything nefarious is going on. Also, if you live in NJ , you must know that our state government messes up more than they get things right! 😂
