I think you can freely change affiliations in those states prior to the election, as a lot of people join the other party to vote for the guy that they think is less electable when they know their own guy already is going to get it.
to vote for the guy that they think is less electable when they know their own guy already is going to get it.
I can’t even compute why anyone would want to do that, much less imagine ‘a lot of people’ doing it. Is that, like, throwing a pity bone to the less-electable guy? Could this be how the US got Trump?
Yall’s political shenanigans are fun, but you need ranked voting yesterday.
Oh it makes a lot of sense if the ones pushing the strategy know the electorate. The democrats don’t clearly. It is a part of how the prez got elected I am sure, but if done right it is quite effective.
Poison their data? Everyone change their political affiliation to NPA. Then vote however you want.
Many states have closed primaries
