The 9th gets one right for a change. Blanket primaries are bunk. Granted, people can register for the party they dislike and wreak havoc with primary elections, but the notion that the state can determine how political parties choose their candidates is anathema to freedom-loving people.
If some political party wants to choose their candidates by the amount of rainfall in Slippery Rock, PA for the preceding year then it should be allowed to do so.

Your correct. This keeps, say the democommies, from ganging up and voting down a stronger opposition party's person and getting the weaker one to win. Thus having their stronger against our weaker one. That helps them in states like Mexicofornia, Oregon, WA state, NY state, Taxsichuttus, etc., where they have the majorities.
