Idaho Open Primary Unconstitutional
U.S. District Judge Lynn Winmill has declared Idaho's open primary election system unconstitutional with respect to the state's Republican Party primary, which the party passed a rule saying it wants to close. “An important corollary of the right to freely associate is a right not to associate,” Winmill wrote in the decision, issued today. He found “clear evidence of crossover voting” in Idaho's primaries/Betsy Russell, Eye On Boise. More here.
Question (for Democrats): Will you register as Republicans in order to vote in important legislative and county races that will be decided in the GOP primary (because there is no Democratic opposition)?
