If the Republican party has 3 candidates running and there's a Primary to determine which one gets the nomination..

and if there is no Democrat running for that particular position...

then the primary becomes a "universal primary" and every registered voter in the district can vote for that primary.
I don't understand. As far as I know, Florida is a closed primary state. Just in order to vote in this primary many of us went through the process of changing from NPA, Democrat, or whatever, to Republican.
