I thought the primaries here were open, but they’re not; you can only vote your party. For some reason I thought I recalled both R and D candidates on the primary ballots, but I’m definitely mis-remembering (I just double-checked). Kinda nullifies my whole rant there a bit. Still, I was ready to vote for a republican, so I guess that has to count for something.
It may also be too late to change my party affiliation (primary is in 14 days).
