Registering with a party to vote: your state?

[Anaxogoras]

About 6 weeks ago a man from the democratic party knocked on my door asking if I'd like to register to vote.  New to the State of Indiana, I said "yes," but that I'd like to refrain from registering with any particular party (I've been independent since age 18).  I was pleasantly surprised to learn that you don't have that option when you register to vote in Indiana.

In my home state, California, the political parties do everything they can to control the voting process through voter registration; it gives them even more power than the obscene amount they already have.

WTG Indiana.

What about your state?

I do not live in a state, I live in a commonwealth.

Every time I see a Third Party Candidate get voted off the ballot here in Pennsylvania, I take a giant freaking step forward toward the revolution.
