It varies from state to state. In Mississippi, it is state law that prevents closing primaries - there is no registration by party affiliation.

**********************************
Same is true in Texas, and the Dems often cross over vote for a weak GOP candidate in the Primary in hopes that a Dem can win the General.

One big problem I noticed in the TN Primary was that Lamar A. had an easy win because there were about 5 or so opponents and some of those on the lower rungs took votes away from Carr. .....Races that run in a ‘fake’ candidate to take votes away from a likely winner to allow an incumbent to win are also rigged by the GOPe machine.

Tut tut! Don’t be giving us facts like that! You’ll spoil all the fun being had on this thread by those who have a desperate need to vent!
