An independent could vote in either primary and from what I heard on the radio, more independents chose to vote in the democrat primary than in the republican primary. PapaBear, please forgive my exasperation, but your comment has been written word for word hundreds, if not more, in the last several days on various threads.
How can one bit of information, such as democrats not being allowed to vote in the republican primary, which was all over the media, go unnoticed by so many. Does anyone pay attention or do you and others just mindlessly repeat what you have seen on other threads? Just curious. Flame away. I don't really care.
If I remember correctly, the report was that Indeps who usually vote D opted to vote R in this primary, which is where we get the crossover vote conception. At least that’s what I heard; don’t quote me on that.
Back in 2008, I voted in the Dem primary.
Rush was promoting his "Operation Chaos", and I found the idea amusing enough that I changed my registration from R to D, and then voted for Hillary against Obama.
