Everyone could have voted if they were willing to change their voter registration to Republican. After the primary they can change it back. Clearly this is a bit of an inconvenience and should be unnecessary. I do know people who did do this and I encouraged others to do so. Fortunately it all worked out OK.

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.
