Independents can’t vote in primaries in my state and many others.

Independents are the majority, 40% of voters, with Rs and Ds at 30% each.

That shouldn’t be legal

That should absolutely be legal. Just imagine that a ton of Republicans vote in democratic primaries to mess up the democratic candidate.

I disagree.

One person, one vote… if a person decides they’d rather vote in D than R primary, there’s nothing wrong with that? What’s the “mess up”?

Rs vote for Ds all of the time, Ds vote for Rs, I vote third party, D, and R, depending on the election.

Locked in a party, there’s no reason to vote for anything. Just count the registrants, boom, whoever has the most registrations win.

We should be able to vote how we wish when we wish. This law is WORTHLESS.

It’s by state: ballotpedia.org/Primary_election_types_by_state

I think semi-closed the way it is implemented in MA is the best. You can request a primary ballot for either party but not both, regardless of what your voter registration says.
