The first thing wrong with the republican primaries is allowing open primaries. The republican nominee should not be picked by dems, libertarians, socialists, independents, and whoever else walks in and wants to vote. It's a republican nominee and should be picked by republicans.

Second, the party ought to charge $100 to vote in the primary. Then use the money to help win the general election :)

Third, since you've limited the primary to repubs only, and charged them $100 to vote..... then count their votes. If you don't want to get invested in the thing... then stay home and let someone who does pick the nominee. :)

Every state is different in how they do this.
In my state (Georgia) we do not register to vote by any party affiliation.
During the primary season, any registered voter can vote however they wish.
Upon arriving at your polling place,
you ask for either a republican or a democrat ballot.
In the event of a run-off election, you cannot switch parties.

So odd. The general allows the republicans to vote democrat and vice Versa.
