An open primary means that you can vote in either the Republican or Democrat primary, but not both? Is it categorically and undeniably illegal to vote in both, or is it simply “not nice”?

If they voted in the Democrat primary they were not supposed to even get a ballot for the Republican run-off. On Tuesday there were sob stories running about a few people who had been "disenfranchised", but if you actually read to the last paragraph they had already voted in the Dem primary and were properly rejected from Tuesday's run-off.

I want to know how they were allowed to vote at all. Did Cochran have the poll workers primed to not look at their voting history?

Cochran’s got family and friends in the elections and local party leadership.

All they needed to do was look the other way and plead ignorance if caught.
