About damn time, but who controls that, the RNC or the states?
Who were the brain-dead who created open primaries? Were the mentally compromised or what?
“...who controls that, the RNC or the states?”
According to the article, the states control through their election laws, and there are 27 open primary states.
Wannna guess how many of those are blue?
All 27?
Maybe not, but still great odds that all 27 are.
Maybe someone knows or could research it.
States and it is more complicated than just Open or Closed - see http://www.fairvote.org/research-and-analysis/presidential-elections/congressional-and-presidential-primaries-open-closed-semi-closed-and-top-two/
The states.
How else do you think we got Presidential candidate, John McCain, even Mitt Romney - Iowa, New Hampshire, etc.
The only states with open primaries have elected officials who are "moderate" Republicans in charge.
Democrats never worry about having Republicans crossing over and voting in their primaries as most of us wouldn't be caught dead asking for a Democrat ballot!
