OPINION: Chaos primaries and rigged choice voting

Should foreign nationals vote in American elections? No. Should Oregon or Washington residents vote in Idaho elections? No. Should Republicans get to vote for who will be the Democrat State Party Chairman? No. Should affiliated Republicans vote for who is the Democrat’s Precinct Committeeman? No. The members of a group should be the ones selecting who represents their group.  

How could a reasonable, intelligent person possibly conclude that it is OK for Democrats to select the Republican’s nominee to be on the ballot in the General Election? You can’t, and so in Idaho you must be affiliated with the Republican Party if you want to vote for who will be the Republican nominee in the next General Election. This is logical and reasonable.
