Title: Republican Primaries Stolen by Democrats

Republican Primaries Stolen by Democrats
By Julie Custer

Michael Harrington has diligently pored over 24 years of election data.  His study uncovered a clear pattern of Democrat intrusion into the Republican primaries, by "strategically" voting for the opposition.

In open primary states, participants don't have to change their registration to vote the other party, and they've been voting for the enemy in staggering numbers.  In closed primary states, when their Democrat candidate of choice has a solid margin of victory, voters have nothing to lose by changing their registration to Republican – they have their cake and eat it, too.  Complicit Democrats sabotage the opposition by voting for the weakest Republican candidates, setting up a decided advantage for the Democrat nominee in the general election, and causing rancor and division among Republican voters.  What could be better?

Mr. Harrington observed the "strategic voting" phenomenon in specific states in the '90s, and has since seen it balloon in scale to the national level.  He estimates that 12 million Democrats sabotaged the Republican primaries this spring with the following result:

Using 2000 and 2008 as baselines, the conclusion was staggering.  Trump only got about 3.3 million Republican Votes.  The rest are Democrats, approximately 12 million of them[.] ... In any event our election was stolen.  Trump would be in fourth, or worse, without Democrats; he would probably only have won New York, and considering he would be doing so badly when that election happened, it is unlikely even there.  We have been tossed to the ground and electorally gang raped by Democrats.

Something for the Trump trolls to think about as we approach Nov elections.

Three million, that's it, not even 20% of the Pub voted for the lib. And now the RNC proves it's just another branch of the DIM party.
It's what most of us have known all along. Is it time for lynchin?

I've been complaining about Open Primaries since the Akin fiasco in Missouri. Democrats crossed over and pushed the fourth place wing nut candidate to victory, and he immediately says something inane, which they can destroy him with.

I knew it was an issue since the 60s, but my first big wake up call was the Maverick, in how the media encouraged Dims to openly support the lib in a crossover vote.
Question is, will the States do something about it?

Not if the state is run by GOPe types. They just don't get it that all this "reaching out" only gets your arms taken off.

I think the display we saw at the convention where the RNC stripped states of their delegates shows not all states are under RNC control, but states where the RNC is in control are generally states without Conservative majority, like Ca.
