That makes me curious if there's been studies on the typical percentage of people who register with a different party than the one they typically vote for. Especially comparing closed primary states (like Pennsylvania) to open primary states. Closed primaries clearly disincentivize registering independent but I could also see people believing it's advantageous to cross-register, especially when your preferred party is incumbent or when in a state that consistently votes the opposite way as you.
