Life long Mississippian, just moved to Louisiana. I know the primaries work differently over here. What is the difference between registering with a Party vs. being Independent.

We don’t have party primaries outside of presidential elections, so party registration is largely irrelevent.

We have open primaries. First round, all the candidates run in. If no one gets a majority of the vote, the top two vote-getters go to a runoff. Sometimes two reps go to the runoff, sometimes two dems, sometimes one of each.

It is a vastly superior system because it forces candidates to play to the middle from day one in order to win rather than facing two fringe retards against one-another.
