Brassfield letter: Party affiliation

I went to the polls Tuesday, May 17, thinking I would perform my civic duty and vote.

I was asked my party affiliation — to which I replied that I am an independent voter. The response I received was that I could only vote for the Idaho Supreme Court races. What kind of happy horse pucky is this? I have been disenfranchised and I am ticked.
