Disagree with the Donald here. Only Republicans should vote in a Rep primary-- lest we fill Congress with Thad Cochran's.

Virginia voters are not required to register with a particular party, but with the approval of the State Board of Elections, the Republican Party will be able to ask primary voters to sign a party oath. Go ahead, GOP, ask me. I'll say no.

Sure change it to a close primary system, but making voters sign a loyalty plead? Utter nonsense.

Is a “Party Oath” the same thing as Registering as a Republican?
After the Primary, I’m reregistering as an Independent anyway. The GOP left me and I would rather be locked in Cell with Joy Behar than Vote for a Democrat.
To: VinL
We'd have to change the law here to have a closed primary. Which, I agree, would be a good idea.
The state Party considered and rejected a voter 'loyalty oath' in 2008 and in 2012.
What's different this year?

As a Virginian I resent this. My tax dollars are paying for these primaries. Anyone who wants to vote in them should be able to. If the gop faction of the uniparty doesn’t like that, then they can pay for it.

I don’t see why it matters... sign the oath under “duress”. Nobody is going to know how you voted.

Makes no sense. If the voters don't register by party, then it seems beyond ridiculous to ask anyone to sign an oath after they come to the polls and cast their vote.
Sounds like the ultimate open primary with no restrictions at all. If they want to have restrictions, they should require regustration by party before votes are cast. This plan is just intrusive and meddlesome.
And I generally oppose open primaries when voters register by party in advance of voting.

VA has an open primary. No registration by party. If a Dem or independent really wants to vote for a Rep, they will just lie.

Sometimes this dude shows too much of his true self.
If he can not win the Nom with GOP votes, he doesn’t deserve the GOP nomination. Period!

Why a separate pledge when they simply only allow registered republican to vote in primary? Sound like an attempt to create an extra layer and complicate the voting process

The Virginia GOP can go to hell. If it wasn’t for them, Ken Cuccinelli would be governor right now.

This is chess. He doesn’t care about the primary. He is pointing out to all that he can win a general.

Yes. Trump is wrong on this one. Every state should be required to do this. Shame on the states that let Democrats and Independents vote in the Republican primary. It is just wrong and unfair to the rest of the GOP nationwide.

It’s one thing to register as a Republican, and another to sign a loyalty pledge. I wouldn’t sign a loyalty pledge to this traitorous party.
