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.
