The caucuses have every right to try and prevent "mischief" voting from democrats/libs crossing the aisle to push a certain candidate.
It took many years for the Republican Party to have contested races in Texas. We also have open primaries. Most everyone in Texas voted in the Democratic primary for the candidate who would be the easiest for the Republican to beat. Nothing new here. I intend to do it again this year. In reverse.

That is a good point and I recall that Limbaugh was enocuraging callers to vote for Hillary in a open primary. One thing that democracy is n't is fair.

You can not REQUIRE someone to do something that there is law for. There are laws that cover what can and can not be done and polling stations, This will violate that. It is not rocket science.
This is a stupid, desperate ploy on behalf of this party. Both sides are pitiful but this truly is a new low.
