What is the "upside" and "downside" of crossover voting?

[kentuck]

I have read that there was crossover voting in the GA races yesterday, especially in the Secretary of State race between Raffensberger and Hice. How much did it affect that race?

What impact could it have on the general election? Do those folks that changed their registration to Republican have to vote Republican in the General Election? If not, I could see it as an "upside" in defeating the extremists that have looked to fix the elections.

Unless there is a close race on the Democratic side of the ticket, I see no "downside" to changing registration to defeat these fascists? In fact, it seems like a good strategy to me.

Any other "downsides" to this strategy?

1. NC has Dem, Rep or Unaffiliated.

Thousands of democrats registered as UA in NC11 to prevent Wheels McHypocritler from the GOP nomination.

Upside: it worked.

Downside: the polling idjits will think we're both Republican leaning because of our demographics.

3. Was that Cawthorn?

?? Wheels McHypocritler?

5. Yes.

I suppose that could apply to Abbott as well.

2. You can vote any party in the GE. Green Dem God forbid Repug.

4. NC has three political labels and closed primaries.

By the time the general rolls around, I will have re-reregistered.

Yes, Cawthorn's district. That nitwit lives up the road.
