That way they can select the Republican candidate by crossing over.

It’s a bad idea.

In politics though, the worse an idea is the more likely it is to become law.

Oh, hell NO!

The Democrats ran Oklahoma for almost a hundred years. They “ran it into the ground.” They loved it the way it was, until they can’t win even a race for dogcatcher.

I found this from a clearly left wing site:
https://openprimaries.org/rules-in-your-state/
They are targeting every Red State.
Notice CA is a closed state.

Open primaries allow the opposition party to vote for the weakest candidate. Idaho primaries are closed, but the Democrats routinely register Republican to vote for the weakest candidate while their own caucus approach selects their best candidate. The Democrats then re-register as Democrats for the general election. Republicans got wise to the game and went the caucus route in the last election. Open primary is just asking to have corruption in the two party process.

Campaign to change Oklahoma’s primary elections can move forward, state ...

Sep 16, 2025
Oklahoma has a so-called “closed” primary system, in which only registered members of a political party can vote in their party’s primary. Oklahoma’s Democratic Party has, in recent elections, allowed voters registered as independent to vote in its primaries, but the Republican Party has not.

It is a Leftist attempt to use subterfuge to deny voters the recognition of what ideologies a candidate is connected to, which is what party designation helps to do. By denying and hiding party designation the Left gets voters to pretend the candidate’s underlying political ideology is not important (as in, you don’t need to know).

We don’t register by party in TN. So all primaries are “open”.

You can choose which party primary to vote in.

The state is pretty solid Red.

We knew this was coming. Oklahoma is the last bastion of conservative values in our country. We stand for the flag, attend church and wish to be left alone.
Take your hate and drama somewhere else.
