Re: [MBZ] Go Vote Tomorrow - How does it work
I beg to differ. Florida has closed primaries, meaning that only the parties who have candidates running can have voters with the same party affiliation vote. A couple of years ago we had a purely Democratic primary, because the Republicans only had one candidate. Dan --- Scott Ritchey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Primaries vary by state.
