We’ve been trying to put a stop to open primaries in TN for a while. No luck so far.
If this ploy works and the nutcase wins TN, I hope it’ll give us the fuel we need for closed primaries in the future.
Open primaries are a crock.

If you change to “closed primary” would you simply register party prefenence at voter registration time? How long before the primary is held would you have to declare you intend to vote in a certain party’s primary? Say you vote in 2012 in the Democrat party primary, then at sometime decide you want to be a republican, when would be the latest you could re-register as a republican to be able to vote in the 2014 republican primary?
