One of the very few things I can say is good about Connecticut.

I was a poll watcher in the last Republican primary.
It was amusing how many Democrats saw the "Vote Today" sign, showed up to vote, and were puzzled when told that their name was not registered:
"Your name's not registered, sir."
"What do you mean, it's not registered?"
"Are you registered as a Republican, sir?"
"What does that have to do with it?"
"Well, sir, it's a Republican primary. You have to a registered voter of a party to vote in their primary. Are you registered as a Republican, sir?"
"Hell, no!"

Most of them went something like that.

I hope they re-think that strategy.

He has the right to challenge it. If the system works and he doesn't find enough votes then he should concede and fight hard for Cochran. Of course if McDaniel wins Cochran should help him as well.

How so?

Of course there is.

Cheating is so ingrained for the left, it is their modus operandi even in the other side's primary.

Connecticut has the same, Rich. It does have the benefit of limiting "false" or corrupted votes.

Do I hear a new call for voter ID cards?

Exactly. After the race isn’t the time to complain about it.

It was precisely the open primary process that got John McLame the win in Florida in the Republican primary in 2008 that turned around his campaign. Thus, we really have the open primary system to blame for Obama getting elected both in 2008 and 2012. All of the 2008 Republican primary candidates were better than John McCain, including Romney - who was my 9th pick out of 10 Republicans at the time.

Agreed.

I hate states that allow open primaries. Pennsylvania has a closed primary system so you can only vote in the party you are registered to. Why should Dems pick Republican candidates and vice versa. Hope McDaniel pulls it out.
