Something that is CA specific but bothers me is that in this state if you are not a registered *insert party* you cannot participate in the primaries. You are required to change affiliations temporarily to participate and then hope that the automatic return to previous registration works. I think this might (know it does) discourage a lot of people from voting the primaries. The state process for doing this is clear as mud. Mine worked but I don't see too many going through the hassle. There are a lot of delegates in CA.
