GOP primaries should be closed to all but registered GOP members.

California voted for open primaries.

"A California Top Two Primaries Act ballot proposition was on the June 8, 2010 ballot in California as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment, where it was approved.

"Proposition 14 requires that candidates run in a single primary open to all registered voters, with the top two vote-getters meeting in a runoff. The new system will take effect in the 2012 elections."

Prop 14 applies to everything EXCEPT the CA presidential primary.
