7. I think the Greens there would agree with you.

Let's just note that this person is not a Green Party nominee for anything. He's a Republican operative who changed his registration in the hope of running the kind of false-flag operation you describe. There's at least one other Green Party member (presumably a legitimate one) seeking the Green Party nomination for the Senate seat.

One obvious danger is that a bunch of other Republicans might change their registration and vote for their guy in the Green Party primary. I don't think the Green Party leaders can prevent that. For some decades now, nominees have been chosen in primaries, not by party bosses.

Of course, I'd prefer that the Greens not have organized a minor party and not have qualified for the ballot at all, but that ship has sailed.
