Liz Cheney is one of the worst RINOs in the DC swamp. She needs to go down to defeat in her primary. She cannot seem to figure which party she belongs to. Some would call her a DIAN - Democrat In All but Name.

As to crossover votes in NC, those can only come from Unaffiliated voters, NOT from voters registered in another political party. We are not like Wyoming.

Allowing Unaffiliated voters to vote in Republican primary came about by act of the state Republican executive committee, not by the legislature. There had been a federal court case in another state ruling that parties could make the decision on who could vote in their primaries, and then state GOP Chairman Jack Hawke suggested opening the Republican primary to Unaffiliated voters to make them more comfortable voting Republican in the Fall. I was one of the Executive Committee members who voted for it. The Democrats later opened their own primary to Unaffiliated voters.

There are presently a number of grassroots Republican activists urging that primaries be closed again. This has been spurred on by several instances of Democrats switching to Republican to run for office and then organizing a campaign to get other Democrats to switch to Unaffiliated to vote for them in Republican primaries. That has been regarded as dirty pool, even though none of them have won a GOP nomination that way so far. On the other hand, state party leadership has worked to prevent the issue even coming before the executive committee, fearing a backlash from Republican-oriented Unaffiliateds.

Contrary to some opinions, most Unaffiliated voters are not ticket splitters. If you calculate Republican and Democrat base votes and then the swing vote (ticket splitters), the largest group of Unaffiliated voters actual voting behavior is straight Republican. The swing vote is often the smallest component.

Countrygirl, While it will not stop it, it will reduce it. Many Democrats would not switch to Republican to vote in our primary, but they would switch to Unaffiliated to do so. States like Wyoming have systems worse than North Carolina, where a Democrat can take a Republican primary ballot. Why should someone who is a member of another political party take the opposing political party's primary ballot?

Open primaries can change outcomes to the left. A good example is the 2008 early presidential primaries. The exit polls in both New Hampshire and South Carolina showed that John McCain would have lost both primaries if only Republicans were voting. The momentum from those early primaries, which he won with non-Republican votes, made him unstoppable in later primaries. Letting non-Republicans vote in our presidential primaries gave us one of the worst RINOs in politics as our presidential nominee. A party really ought to be able to choose its own nominees without interference from outside the party. Both New Hampshire and South Carolina allowed Democrats, not just independents to vote in Republican primaries, and that makes absolutely no sense at all.

Will closing primaries keep people from changing party affiliation and doing the same thing?
If the primaries are closed to only those that choose to associate with a party by affiliation, then those parties need to pay for the primaries and not the taxpayers. There are a lot of us that do not want to associate with either party but are very conservative.
