In my state, you can be independent and vote for either.
But yeah, I voted in the Republican primary this time, to vote against Trump, even though I would have wanted Nikki to lose, but would rather risk that than Trump.
Perhaps my point didn’t come across. I’m not trying to explain why a swing voter would stay in one party.

You can only vote in the primarys if you are registered with the party having the primary.
They probably want to keep being able to vote within the Republican party.
