"According to Green Papers' data, 22 states have fully or partially closed Democratic presidential primaries, meaning you must be registered as a Democrat to vote in the primary.

Eleven states further have partially open primaries where unaffiliated but not registered Republicans can vote in the Democratic primary. And seventeen states have fully open primaries where any person, regardless of their party registration, can cast a ballot in the Democratic presidential primary, however, voters can only participate in one party's primary."

that is according to this link.. https://www.businessinsider.com/which-states-have-open-or-closed-democratic-primaries-2019-11/


We had issues in 2016 with people trying to do a bums rush of the caucus to get in without registering. I do not think for a second that this current Trumpian party.. the same one that engaged Russian and tried to engage Ukraine would not putz around in our primaries..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
