The whole thing reminds me of a prank I helped organize in college. The College Republicans were holding their "election" for president of the organization at their general meeting. We brought in a large number of ultra-liberal students to the election to join the club and vote in one of the liberals as president of the org.

Sweet jesus do I hate when this happens. This actually happened to a local chapter of the Green Party. A bunch of libertarians came out of nowhere and elected themselves to all the positions because they had a hole in their constitution. Very random stuff.

It's totally stupid (I know), but it highlights why the primaries SHOULD be restricted to party members.

Of course, in this case, the primaries should be totally funded by the parties themselves, instead of using taxpayer-funded voting machines, personell, and locations.
