“When I realized that I couldn’t vote in the primary, my reaction was, ‘It’s bullshit, and I’m gonna change it.’ There’s nothing about me as a citizen, as a supervoter – I’d always voted in every election possible – so there was nothing about me that had changed, except for the fact I was no longer a member of a private organization.

I’m paying the taxes? I should be able to vote.”
