Do you live in a reliably red Congressional District?

[kentuck]

What would happen if Democrats in these red Districts became involved in Republican primaries? Every Republican that was involved in not certifying the election or was involved in the planning of the overthrow of the election, should be primaried.

Democrats voting in Republican primaries would have to change their registration in order to vote in their primaries. However, that is one way they could get rid of many of these traitors that are clinging to Trump's butt cheeks.

There are ways if we think outside the box.

1. Yes.

It's horrible having the Reep candidate be elected
by people 150 miles away.

[Glorfindel]

2. Yes, but my hand would fall off if I voted in a rePuke primary*

My congressman is Andrew Clyde, only a fraction less contemptible than Marjorie Taylor Greene, who represents the adjacent district. Put them together (the districts) and you've got hillbilly heaven.

*The republicans voted in the Democratic primaries in Georgia for many, many years. Your idea is actually very sound!

11. There's a legitimate debate about which district the Squidbillies are based on.

I still think it's MTG's. At least our district has (part of) Athens.

[Hoyt]

3. Personally, never been much for meddling in elections. Know people

do it and am sure GOPers do it, but still think it’s wrong. Sorry.

[SWBTATTReg]

5. I agree w/ you. NT

[11 Bravo]

4. Fortunately, no. We're in reliably blue Northern Virginia.

There are parts of this country where we quite honestly could not stand to live.

6. Live in Tom Tiffany district Dave Obeys late district (10 years ago)

I don't know who is running don't think I care.

7. In states with closed primaries, switching party affiliation would be necessary to cast a vote in a

Republican primary. To have any impact on the outcome, tens of thousands of Democrats would have to switch their party affiliation.

[kentuck]

17. It would not take that many districts or that many votes...

Many primaries are won with 50-60,000 votes total. It would not take tens of thousands of votes if the races were anywhere near competitive.

Also, it would tend to divide the Republican Party and give a Democrat a chance to win in the general election if many Repubs refused to vote for someone besides the incumbent.

If there could be one race in five different states, that could dispose of the worst of the traitors , if it was somewhat organized.

Just my opinion.

8. If you could muster that level of organization in a red district, it wouldn't be red

The primary process is usually a rubber stamp for incumbents, especially in non-competitive districts. It would take more engagement and energy to swing a primary in a red district than it would to beat them in the general. Especially since the level of organizing we'd need to do it would certainly get their attention, and rally the conservative base in that area.

[mcar]

9. Yes

Some Democrats in my district do just that. Here, it's a wasted effort. Our ruby red R congresscritter wins going away every time. He usually doesn't have a primary opponent.

He does absolutely nothing for his constituents but, every fall, he'll be at Chamber of Commerce meetings saying the prayer. Part of our district was gerrymandered into a section of the Villages (FL) and that's all it takes.

[GoodRaisin]

10. I've been doing this for years by registering as non-affiliated in NC

whereby non-affiliated voters have a choice to vote in either Republican or Democratic primaries. It helped keep Walter Jones in office until he passed. Unfortunately it no longer appears a viable strategy in our district which has pretty much gone magat.

12. I voted in the Republican primary back in 2018.

I voted for Brad Raffensperger for Secretary of State.

In November, of course, I voted for the Democratic nominee. But my "Republican" vote for Raffensperger earlier in the year may have helped to prevent a calamity.

[Sneederbunk]

13. I refuse to register as a Repug ever.

[dsc]

14. Depends on the state

in some you get to pick up either primary ballot without reregistering. My districts just got over turned so I don't know where I am right now.

[Tree Lady]

15. We have had some try here

Its just my district is huge includes all of the rural area in Oregon except the coast. Last guy they picked lives near Idaho near the border 7 hrs from me! I can drive to my kids in the bay area in 5 hrs!

The lady that tried really put her heart into it and visited every city in the county but she still got 62,000 votes less that was 2018. 2020 we had a dem who didn't try 100,000 more votes to republican but then again it was presidential race when more vote.

[TomSlick]

16. We have open primaries in Arkansas and voter registration is not by party.

I will have to vote in the Rethuglican primary next term to vote against the really nutty options. I'm not pleased with having it on my voting record that I voted in a Rethuglican primary, there really is no other choice.

[bluedigger]

18. Colorado opened primaries to independents a few years ago.

As luck would have it, I'm unaffiliated, and there is already talk of going after Boebert in the primaries by getting independents to vote for her opponent. I think I will.
