[QUOTE=OrangeBlossomBaby;1819752]Just remember, you can still vote Democrat in all general elections. And (as I discovered too late) if there's a primary with one party running with no other party opposing it, you can vote in that primary no matter what your affiliation is.

In other words:

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.[/QUOTE

Not exactly. The Florida constitution provides for a Universal Primary Contest if the winner of the a primary will face NO opposition in the General Election, i.e., not necessarily opposition from a Democrat. For that reason, the Developer and his puppets ran fake write-in candidates Wahl and Prince-- thereby disenfranchising over 45,000 voters who should have, under the law, been entitled to vote in yesterday's primary.
