What about a primary that allows Independents but excludes Dems?

*************

The Texas primary system is similiar but goes one step farther. In Texas you register to vote
with the state, no party registration. On primary day you go to the polling location, present your
registration and if on the approved list the clerk then asks “which party ballot your want?” You
are bound to that party for any runoffs. At the end of the two year cycle you are issued another
voter registration card and the process starts all over. So in essence you choose which party’s
primary you want to vote in each primary season.

Thanks for describing the Texas system. It actually sounds quite good. It would be nice if other states followed suit.
