MD has closed primaries. In my opinion, the primary is more important than the general election because there are often many choices. In closed primary states, it’s worth being a registered party preference. In open primaries, anyone can vote any way they want. I used to think that was better but that was when I voted for the occasional democrat.
No longer. After the shenanigans this week, open prairies must go.
I live in Maryland too and that is why I find it so important that every person stay a Republican even if it hurts. We must have everyone vote in the primaries or we will never get rid of these RINOS....of course especially in South Carolina and other states in the South which for some reason has become our biggest headache.
