primaries

The federal court decision from last year which found Virginia’s “open primary” unconstitutional as applied, was not appealed. It became final and binding on the State this week. The VA system forced parties which participated in the state-run primary election to allow any voter to vote in their primary.

Voter fraud or voter confusion? Or dirty tricks? We heard a lot about the Texas “two-step” primary + caucus, and the opposition “strategy” urging Republicans to choose the Democratic ballot in the TX primary. Now the Elections Clerk for Harris County (Houston area) has turned over 1,167 names of voters suspected of voting in more than one primary to the District Attorney, according to local Houston TV report.
