Want To have A Local Political Voice?

In order for voters, that tend to vote for Democrat candidates in national and state elections, to have a voice in city and county political affairs they would have to ask for a Republican ballot in May's primary election. There are no contested Democrat candidates on the ballot.
It is believed by some folks that such a move is a violation of law at worst or deceitful at best.
News Flash! If you are not a member of the local party's central committee you are free to switch parties at will.
My reading of Ohio Directive 2011-43 supports the concept. Election officials can not challenge the right to vote on the grounds that the voter is not affiliated with, or a member of, the political party of whose ballot the person requests.
Want to vote for Mayor, City Councilman of Wilmington, a County Judge or any other political uncontested local offices but you consider yourself a nominal Democrat you can do so without qualms.
