You shouldn't get to vote in two primaries (none / 0) (#13)

If it's an open system, there's nothing to be done about cross-overs.  Except that if a person already voted in the Republican primary, they shouldn't be allowed to also vote in the Democratic primary.

voted in the Republican Primary.  There was a very important State Constitutional Amendment on the ballot that day.  The Amendment on one side of the ballot the primary vote on the other.  A lot of us voted on the Amendment side and left the other side blank.  Which means we did not vote in the Primary.  Since there is no way you can tell which ballot belongs to whom how you going to decide who voted and who did not.

by Florida Resident on Wed Mar 05, 2008 at 08:33:56 AM EST
not.  Since this was not just a primary vote.  You know that would make one hell of an argument against have Republicans vote for the Democratic Candidate in the GE.

BTD what happens if we have (none / 0) (#52)
by Florida Resident on Wed Mar 05, 2008 at 08:47:29 AM EST
(God forbid) a lower turn out than on the first Primary.  What will the argument be to count that vote and not the first one.
