In most other democracies around the world you can change your party and vote until the last minute. Why not in the US?

You don't ever have to register to a party, just some states only allow those registered to the party vote in the primaries of that party.
Anyone can register and vote in the actual election for whichever side they chose regardless of how they registered.
Also, George Washington believed that if parties were ever formed it would be downfall of the Democracy
