No you don’t have it right. We are saying that Republicans had their party affiliation changed from Republican to Non-Partisan without their knowledge, and were therefore unable to vote in the closed Republican Primary.
In other words, someone went into the registrars computers and changed party affiliations, or managed to get hold of voter info and used it to send in falsified registration forms requesting affiliation changes.
FRAUD!
Thanks. I got it eventually.
I guess there won’t be an “investigation”.

As Primaries Begin, the FEC Will Shut Down
No Quorum on Election Board As Nominees Stall in Congress
The federal agency in charge of policing the torrent of political spending during the upcoming presidential primaries will, for all practical purposes, shut its doors on New Year’s Eve.
The Federal Election Commission will effectively go dark on Jan. 1 because Congress remains locked in a standoff over the confirmation of President Bush’s nominees to the panel. As a consequence, the FEC will enter 2008 with just two of six members — short of the four votes needed for the commission to take any official action.
“There is, in effect, nobody to answer the phone,” said Robert F. Bauer, a leading Democratic campaign finance lawyer.
Although the 375 auditors, lawyers and investigators at the FEC will continue to process work already before them, a variety of matters that fall to the commissioners will be placed on hold indefinitely. Chief among them are deciding whether to launch investigations into possible campaign finance violations and determining the penalties.
