How about an Unaffiliated Party?
Of the state’s 4.8 million registered voters, 1,164,504, or 24.2 percent, are declared Democrats, according to the state Division of Elections. There are 874,457 Republicans – 18.2 percent of the total. The far-largest group of voters – 2,756,759 of them - are unaffiliated.
The new registration figures also demonstrate how far established third parties need to go to become factors in the elections. Only 1,625 voters, total, are registered as members of the Green, Reform, Libertarian, Natural Law or U.S. Constitution Parties.
Voter turnout, always low when state legislative races top the ballot, is expected to be low again. There are 245,000 more registered voters this year than there were in 2003, the last time state races received top billing. But voter registration is off 51,000 from last year.

Hi: We are the National Group that is helping to open Unaffiliated/Independent Voters Centers all over the country.
We are not a party but a way to group together for information and to keep up with the records and promises that politicians make.
We do not sway your vote or run candidates. What we do is to provide a voice for the Unaffiliated/Independent Voters and a way for us to be reached as a collective group.
Our slogan is "Not a Color, Just a Voter!" We invite you have your own centers in your area. Go to www.Unaffiliated.us and see how we all can make Problem Solvers and States People of our Elected Officials with the power of only one vote.
Larry Bumgarner, National Chair Person. Larry@Unaffiliated.us
