Only Democrats can vote in the US Democrat primary,
This is not true. There are multiple states that allow voting in the primary of a party to which you are not registered. You just can't vote in both primaries.
🤓🤓🤓 But in more seriousness, it is true for the majority - ok some states let independents vote in one party’s primary but they have to request it and it’s harder and I’m not gonna add that addendum to a long ass diatribe
About 24 states have some form of open primary. Most of them are entirely open. Some are independents/uncommited-only as you noted.
I received both parties ballots and I did not request it. We voted for that explicitly to be the case.
Fuggin states and their fuggin random ass rules for voting
Indeed.
