“MI has a open primary, but the Governor race is also in 2018 so the demonrats will be voting in their own primary to vote for that.

I doubt we will see much crossover voting this time.”


So a voter only gets one party’s primary ballot? Which means if he wants to pick the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, he only gets the Dem primary ballot?

That’s correct.

Only California to my knowledge ever allowed one to vote for say a Republican primary candidate for Governor and rat for Senator. This was called a “blanket primary” and was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 2000 I believe.

Yes, if they want to vote for Demonrats they have to get a Demonrat ballot, and then they can’t vote for Republicans.
