How Serious Is The Democratic Crossover Vote Threat In Michigan? | TPM2012

If you know anyone in Michigan (or VT, TN, or ND), please tell them to vote for Santorum in the GOP (open) primary!--SS

How Serious Is The Democratic Crossover Vote Threat In Michigan? | TPM2012:

"Republicans tried to tamp down on crossover voting when they designed the Feb 28 primary, but the peculiarities of the state rules made that effort basically futile. Democrats will allow members of their party to vote in Tuesday’s primary and still participate in the March 5 Democratic caucus, so Democrats can ask for GOP ballots on Tuesday with impunity. Crossover voting is a rich part of the Michigan primary tradition (this Detroit News column explains the tit-for-tat crossover efforts both parties have engaged in over the years pretty well), and so was born Operation Hilarity, the DailyKos-led effort to drive progressive voters to the polls for Santorum and serve up a loss to Romney."
