not at all.  The voter has to declare what party primary they want to vote in,

Indiana is a “modified open” primary state, meaning that voters do not officially declare a party affiliation on their voter registration forms and formal party affiliation is not required to vote in the primaries. Indiana election law stipulates that in order to participate in a party’s primary, a voter must have either voted for a majority of that party’s nominees in the last general election or must intend to vote for a majority of the party’s nominees in the upcoming general election. In practice, however, secret balloting makes this provision of the law unenforceable. This creates an open primary system in which voters can participate in the primary election of their choice.

so, if 80% of the Republicans who vote in November vote for Trump, you think that will be enough?

100% of Republicans will vote against Joe Biden.

They probably voted that way for two reasons; Give you a sense of hope for November and get you to cum all over yourself from seeing them vote for someone other than Trump.

LOL....maineman (aka, FLATLANDER gone into hiding), has absolutely NO proof that they were Republicans....Sheesh, this is too fricking easy!

They requested a Republican ballot.  They voted up and down the primary ballot choosing Republican candidates for local and state and congressional offices.  20% of them voted AGAINST the GOP presumptive nominee.

SO What? there is Nothing to prevent a dem from voting repub. NOTHING. Please post a link that says when a person goes to the polls they must publicly declare which party they will vote for and then they get a different ballot than someone voting for a different party. AND please explain to the group why a Democrap couldn't ask for this so called Republican ballot, and then Republican. Did you even read the links I supplied????

Exactly.  Democrats have a lot at stake.  There wee lots of races at the municipal, county, and state levels not to mention congressional races to pick candidates for.  

If you want to believe that, in Indiana yesterday, 128K democrats gave up their right to choose candidates up and down their party's primary ballot for the opportunity to cast protest votes for Nikki Haley in the GOP primary, you are free to hold tight to that fantasy.  I choose to laugh at you for that belief

You do realize it's a primary. They don't have to cast a vote for State and local candidates. They can just vote for the Presidential candidate. It's a PRIMARY for fcks sake.

Well you answer was incorrect, so I'm giving you a chance to PROVE your claim that anybody that voted for Haley was DEFINATELY a Republican. I'll wait......

Of course.  But why waste your opportunity to help shape the ballot for your party?  For example:  in my town, we have three candidates running for the Democratic nomination for the Maine House of Representatives.  I have had all three of those candidates stop by my house handing out literature and I have a clear favorite.  Why would I give up my opportunity to have a say in getting my candidate on the ballot just to cast a meaningless vote for Nikki Haley?

My answer was certainly correct.  

I never said they were.  

But I gave you a good reason why I don't think a large number of democrats would waste a primary vote for a meaningless protest vote for Haley. 

definitely is spelled with an "i", btw.

It's a PRIMARY. If the voter thinks the incumbents are fine, then it's just a vote to make Trump look bad. The lefties in Indy admit it for Christs sake....
