No it's not. Montana Republicans have been fighting this since at least last summer.
And most here on FR for years have been saying that the primaries should be closed. But I guess that's one more principle out the window. Bring in the Democrats.
I think they should all be modified primaries. Many in my family and friends have been so disgusted they went Independent. In a modified undeclared can vote either party.
What about the independent voters? If we are disenfranchised during the primaries, why should we show up to vote Republican in Nov? Keep in mind many of us are far more conservative than most Republicans.
It’s not one more principle out the window. But it is good to see the snakes that make the rules get bitten for a change.
May those open primaries that the GOPee has forced on us for years, to get their commie/cronies into office, put an end to them. Remember Mississippi.
