I grew up in a state with open primaries and no state party registration and recently moved to a state that has “semi-closed” primaries.
I think it’s fucking weird that you have to register a party affiliation with the state. Luckily “semi-closed” here means if you don’t register then you can vote in either primary. I can’t imagine why you would register a party affiliation when it only reduces your options.

Hey Latinos For Trump, how’s everything goin?
they’d call that a breeder and laborer, but same energy.
Why does the Texas Republican Party need to sue the state to get this done? Doesn’t it run the state?
There may be a law on the books that they can’t seem to get repealed through legislation. So they sue saying it is unconstitutional. And the defendant being the state of Texas represented by Ken Paxton. Ol Ken tells the judge they won’t defend the case. Republican judge rules in favor of the Republican party.
This is just my armchair assessment.
I’m sure they’ll have some sort of sham trial to maintain plausible deniability for the more uppity newsmax viewers.
So they want the Texas right to get crazier, and the left to get more progressive?
Sounds like real banger of a plan.
I’m surprised that state Democrats didn’t file a countersuit to end primaries entirely.
“If we are forced to hold a primary, a candidate we didn’t approve in advance might win it…”
