Actually, this ruling is okay. It allows the parties to run the primaries. Currently, people can cross party lines and vote in the other's primary. This ruling should mean that people must choose a party in order to vote in the primary.

Virginia has this now - you can vote in either primary, but only one. I generally vote in the Dem primary, supporting the least offensive Dem (though next year I might pick Sharpton just for grins). For the real election, I'm in there pulling the R lever.

True, but why should the state, and not the parties, pay the cost. If they (the parties) had to foot the bill most states would probably go back to the caucus system.

THAT is unConstitutional.

Freedom of assembly...

They should be open and at-large. Two with the highest votes face off. End of story.

This protection of the two-party system needs to go.
