This sort of thing is strictly by state. For NJ, "A registered voter currently affiliated with a political party who wishes to change their party affiliation must file a Political Party Affiliation Declaration Form 50 days before a Primary Election. " Wikipedia says "New Jersey is a semi-closed primary state; voters affiliated with a party may only vote in their party's primary, but undeclared members may vote in any available party primary, after which their registration is changed to the party of the primary they participated in." but I can't confirm that.
If true, it would be best to be an "undeclared" voter and then after you vote in a primary, change it back to "undeclared" afterward. That way you vote in the one which interests you at the moment.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
