From below:

>> if (!DEMOCRAT) && (!REPUBLICAN)

if the voter is a republican then the if is 

    if (1) && (0)

and if the voter is a democrat then the if is

    if (0) && (1)

and if the voter is a something else then the if is

    if (1) && (1)

so regardless of what the voter is, the if evaluates as true,
so the if serves no purpose.

Been a while since you used logic???
