If you want to do that, as far as I know it is not illegal. Just beside to switch back in time to vote for real...

Seems dishonest to register yourself into a party you don't support in order to have a vote in that party's candidate selection. Especially with the intent to select a candidate you think will lose against your party's candidate when you re-register with your party for the "vote for real" vote.
Just because there's no rule or law against this does not make it right. In my opinion it is dishonest and a form of cheating/sabotage. There is a reason why the primaries limit the voting to the voters in the parties.
I have zero respect for people who present themselves as someone/something they are not.
