Problem: Article: In a closed primary or caucus, you must vote in the primary according to your official party affiliation. In many closed primary states, you won’t be able to vote in the primary at all if you don’t register as either Democrat or Republican. Make sure you choose the party you plan to vote for in the primary when you register to vote.  For example, in Oregon, you must declare an affiliation when you register in order to vote in all congressional, state, and Presidential primaries. Voter registration in Oregon closes 21 days before the election, so you must choose well in advance of Election Day.  In some states, an independent voter can choose to register with a party on Election Day, or a voter registered with one party can switch at the polls. You can find out which states have closed or semi-closed primaries by visiting https://www.openprimaries.org/primaries_by_state. If you live in a state with semi-closed primaries, you can vote for either party as an independent voter. However, if you choose to register as a Democrat or Republican, you can only vote for the party you’re affiliated with. If you want to be able to choose your party on Election Day, don’t declare a party affiliation when you register. For example, if you’re an unaffiliated voter in Idaho, you can participate in whichever party’s primary you choose. However, if you’re already affiliated with a party, you must disaffiliate with that party by the 10th Friday before the primary election in order to vote in another party’s primary. When you arrive at your designated polling place, provide your name, address, and any required or requested identification to the poll workers at the registration table. They will give you a ballot that matches the party affiliation listed on your voter registration information.  If you’re voting as an independent or NPA (No Party Affiliation) voter in a semi-closed primary, ask for the ballot of your choice. Once you receive your ballot, follow the directions from the election judges to fill it out and cast your votes. In some cases, you may be able to vote in a closed primary regardless of your party affiliation. For example, voters of any affiliation in Florida can participate in a Universal Primary Contest, which takes place when all the candidates for a specific office have the same party affiliation.
Summary: Register with the party of your choice before or on Election Day. Avoid selecting an affiliation if you want a choice in a semi-closed primary. Ask for a ballot that matches your party affiliation.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Adding height to some dishes is aesthetically appealing and adds life to your table. You can easily elevate areas by covering secure objects such as boxes and upside down containers with cloth. Just don't exaggerate the elevation, as this not only looks chaotic, but it can be dangerous. You table should have subtle rises and dips. Place all the serving dishes that will be used on the table as you decorate. This will help to ensure that you have enough space for everything that needs to be on the table. Now that your dishes are placed, go ahead and fill in the spaces with the decorations that you've chosen. Be mindful of not placing items in front of food dishes, or in areas where they will get knocked over by elbows. Try placing larger items at the back of the table, and smaller items between dishes and around the edges of the table. Candles are a wonderful decoration for any buffet table. Consider placing tall candles at the back of the table if the table is against the wall, so that they will not get knocked over. Otherwise, you can decorate small jars with candles inside and place them around the table. If having flames seems dangerous for your event, consider using flickering electric candles.

SUMMARY: Elevate some of your dishes. Arrange your themed decorations. Set out candles.

Once winter rolls around, adjust your morning routine to allow time to de-ice. Start setting your alarm to go off at least ten minutes earlier than normal. This way you can do a thorough job without feeling rushed (and potentially botching the job!). There are a couple of household ingredients that you can potentially use as a homemade substitute, but only use those as a last resort. For the best results, go with a product that was specifically designed to do the job without damaging your car in any way. Always stock up on some professionally-made de-icer before winter arrives.  De-icer can be found online, at auto parts stores, and the automotive sections at stores like Walmart and Target. Be sure to keep one can of de-icer in your car just in case it ices over somewhere other than home. Give your windshield and other windows a generous spray of your de-icer. Start at the top and then work your way down to the bottom. This way the de-icer will start running down the windows, which means it will cover more ice without you having to waste more product. Definitely use an ice scraper for this, and not some other tool. Again, you want to protect your windows from damage, so use a tool that’s meant for this specific job. Apply plenty of pressure with each stroke, and scrape as far as you can reach in one long, continuous motion. Don’t chip away over one tiny area, because this could scratch the glass underneath. Use the scraper’s brush end (or a separate brush if it doesn’t have one) to clear the loose ice off the window.  If the ice is being stubborn, spray it with more de-icer to loosen it up instead of hacking away at it. If your reach is short, choose a scraper with a nice long handle to extend it further. Once you’ve cleared the driver’s side, you may feel the urge to just leave the passenger-side of your windshield and all the other windows as they are if you’re in a rush. Fight that urge and take the time to remove all the ice. Keep in mind that local laws may require you to do this. Even if they don’t, take the time anyway. Don’t limit your field of vision when driving. Now that all the ice has been cleared from the windshield, make sure the wipers haven’t frozen to them. Spray the wipers with de-icer if necessary so you can raise them. Then spray some de-icer into a cloth and rub it over the wipers’ blades. Set the wipers back down into place. When you start the car, turn them on to make sure they function normally. Your windows are the most obvious things that need to be cleared, but keep in mind local laws probably state that others need to be, too. Once the big job is done, scan your car to see if ice or snow is blocking anything else that needs to be uncovered. If needed, de-ice your:  Tail and headlights Turn signals License plate(s)
