Republicans, when they can (and they have the ability in Alabama) to end “open primaries”.
Primaries are for the party members, not any voters that are not party members. They are for the voting members of a party to choose THEIR candidate. They are not for the general public, regardless of party affiliation to choose a candidate. THEY - the voters not registered to a party, have their opportunity to vote in the general election for whichever candidates the parties have nominated to represent THEM.
Open parties are ripe for mischief of one party skewing a primary result AWAY FROM whom the majority of a party actually want. Open primaries should be done away with, every where.
Thad is so feeble that he needs a guide dog to find his way around the Capitol buildings.
