In response to a question, Richard Ronner explains the process of changing his party affiliation online.
He states that while the process itself is "fairly innocuous," it is the principle of being forced to join a party he doesn't like that is the main issue.
He also expresses uncertainty about whether he will be allowed to immediately switch his registration back to independent.
- Ronner says changing party registration can now be done online.
- For him, the issue is not the difficulty of the process, but the principle of being coerced into joining a party to vote.
- He is unsure if state election law will permit him to change his registration back to independent right away.

It's not, you know, largely, it's the principle.
4:06:07
Right?
4:06:08
And then I shouldn't have to join a party that I don't like in particular to be able to to vote.
4:06:16
I I I just today thought to that I wanted to change my registration back, and I I'm not a 100% sure that I'll be that I'm allowed to.
4:06:27
That that they may tell me, no.
4:06:28
You have to wait a year or something or other.
