Did those Democrats and Independents register as Republicans to vote in closed primaries?
Sean, in the primaries (in my state), you must vote Repub, if you're a registered repub.... Or Dem if you're a registered Dem.
Once you've voted, you are always a Dem or a Repub, however, you can change your affiliation, by going to city hall, and register as an independant, as such, you can vote either Dem or Repub in a primary
In the general election, you can vote for whomever you want, regardless of affilliation.... That's how the Democrats who voted for Reagan, became known as Reagan Democrats.
