"Yeah, except this is perfectly consistent with the Supreme Court's striking down California's blanket primary in 2000. It was inevitable Washington's would get overturned as well.."
Exactly. It's a good thing they're getting overturned, too. The blanket primary was invented to give RINOs a chance to survive GOP primaries by getting RATs to vote for them (famed RINO Tom Campbell got the system approved in CA). Now, if they could only overturn the recall election for that reason and mandate that Arnold face McClintock in a primary, then we'd be in business. Arnold could never survive a Republican primary unless he got hundreds of thousands of RATs to turn out and vote for him.

I prefer closed primaries. Open primaries allow RAT operatives to "Freep" our elections.

With this today's ruling on blanket primaries in WA, could Louisiana's jungle primary be the next to go?
