Said "right" is a new invention arising from a crappy Supreme Court decision (which I put in the same "bin of insanity" as the Court failing to find the "campaign reform" legislation by McCain, et al, unconstitutional).
I disagree with the decision, hope the court comes to its senses and overturns it.
"I'm sure your parks department has some activities you are excluded from, even though you pay taxes, because you don't meet the requirements, i.e, youth sports, male or female clubs. This is the same thing. You don't meet the requirements, but in this case by your own actions."
Sorry, but "parks activites" aren't in the same class as voting for candidates. If "I" pay for election, then I should have the right to vote in said election. Otherwise it is "taxation without representation".
What are you talking about? Why do you think a political party choosing its candidates by a vote among its members is a "new invention"?
If "I" pay for election, then I should have the right to vote in said election.
You do have the right to vote in any primary you would like to. You just have to register (in some states) or declare (in others) which one you would like to vote in.
