Saturday

who is a D, give up their right to select the candidate that they would like to represent them? And I don’t want any Republicans effing up who the D candidate will be.

I also doubt it changes who the winning candidate would be on either side. Likely not nearly enough to move the needle.

In NYS we don’t have open primaries and independents cannot vote in any primaries, either.
