“No #ing way? These two states were open?”
I can’t speak for Alabama but Mississippi most certainly is. I saw one (1) person vote in the Democrat primary in the time I was at the poll, an older black lady. I saw several young black men vote in the Republican primary. I suppose they are Thomas Sowell or Alan Keyes fans . . .
Mississippi had a contested Democrat senate primary. Why would democrats show up and vote in the republican side, when they had an active contest on their side?
