I'm not saying it's happening in this instance, but the damage has been done to the perception of honest elections. It's so discouraging.

(48,181 posts)That is not how our primary works here. If you are a registered Republican or Democrat, you can only vote in your respective primary. Unregistered voters can register at the polls and select either primary (and most unregister on the way out the door.)

(5,818 posts)"Five myths about the NH primaries" appeared on the Washington Post's editorial page Friday. One of its authors is director of the Survey Center at the University of New Hampshire.
The authors seem to disagree with you, by pointing out that the estimated 45 percent of NH primary voters who are "undeclared" split about equally between Republicans, Democrats, and true Independents.
If they are right, then about 15 percent of expected primary voters who are undeclared and lean R COULD decide to vote in the Democratic primary. Whether some do, and whether most who do choose SBS or HRC, is another matter.
