Including, it seems, Iowa:
"The ACLU will file a lawsuit for the Green and Libertarian Parties against the state’s practice of forcing all voters to register “Republican”, “Democrat”, or “independent” (sic) on voter registration forms. Iowa is the only state in which it is physically impossible for a voter to register into any party other than the Democratic and Republican Parties. "
The actual phrase on the form is "no party", not "independent", but otherwise it's accurate. Got this from the excellent Ballot Access News, but it's dated a week ago. No word on whether anything has actually happened yet.
As a (mostly) loyal Dem I still like this; knowing who's a Green, Libertarian, etc. is really useful in nonpartisan elections.
Like today's. Go vote.
