As Republican campaigners we are faced with ballots unsecured overnight by Democrat clerks; people casting votes in adjacent districts just before polls close; large numbers of provisional ballots cast by people who haven’t moved; van-loads of people arriving at a polling place with only one able to speak English and all giving the same address; harvesting ballots from apartment house lobbies; same day registration with utility bills shown as “proof” of citizenship; accusations of “witch-hunting” when finding dead voters and people casting multiple votes; etc.

Now there is a movement to have open primaries in order to sabotage Republican candidates. The primary is our private thing. We reject interference in our personal choice process. We have our own culture and values, as shown by our registration in the party. Independents can vote in the general election.
