There have been a lot of news stories over the past couple years, about Dem voter registrations going down in different states--- but I think a lot of people have just been registering as independents but still identify as Democrats--- especially with the Republican tyrant in the White House again....

I'm in Michigan where we don't even have party registration---
everybody's an independent and can choose to vote either party ballot
for state or presidential primaries.
