I asked a simple question and I applied it to the entire nation.
as well as conservative leaning independents and Republicans who are vloting in the primary. You havent any idea how many if these people are conservatives , hence the question.
Yes Independents can vote in primaries, they can either register with any party within 3 weeks of the primary or vote on a non partisan ballot.
WEST VIRGINIA VOTER REGISTRATION
Registration Deadline: You may register at any time. However, to be eligible to vote in a specific election, you must register 21 days before that election.
Party Affiliation: For primaries, if you are registered with one of the four recognized political parties (Democratic, Libertarian, Mountain or Republican, you may only vote that party's ballot or the non-partisan ballot.[b If you are registered with any other party or with no party, you may ask the poll worker for one of the recognized party's ballots or they will give you the non-partisan ballot. In the General Election, every registered voter receives the same ballot.
