Conservative Democratic Party under Orval Faubus and the Dixiecrats. People who were voting Republican (or liberal) back then had problems voting if they registered as Republicans. Now we liberals or Democrats registered as Independent for the same reason. (And it allows us to vote in the Republican primary to mess them up) but they do the same.
