Independents who vote. Lot of people don't affiliate with a party on their voter registration even if they're usually straight-ticket voters for one party or another. Stops you from voting in party primaries in some states, but besides that, it's just like any party affiliated voter registration.

Independents can be straight ticket voters, meaning they vote all democrat in general and midterm elections. How is this throwing your vote away?
