OK I’m getting confused here. I thought that on June 3 a Dem had to vote for a Dem and Repub for a Repub. And only in the runoff can a NON-voting Dem vote in repub runoff. Wrong I guess. So cross-over allowed in both elections?
Misssissippi, like my state, has an open primary system. You choose the primary you want to vote in that day.
Apparently, Mississippi law states that, having already voted DEM on the initial primary, you’re not legally entitled to vote in a GOP runoff, which would make sense. Proving it happened is another matter.
Again, though, it’s not obvious that the photo everyone is getting worked up about actually “proves” that a particular voter voted DEM on June 3rd. It might just indicate that they usually vote DEM, and did in fact vote on June 3rd, but not which ballot they chose. In fact, I doubt that information is recorded, although aggressive poll watchers will no doubt do their best to see that “their voters” vote the way they want them to vote.
