It certainly leaves the door open for possible voter fraud if the state decided to view it as such. I understand the state was trying to save money by switching to the caucus instead of the Primary, but it certainly doesn't leave the option for everyone to cast their vote. There are many situations where those that wanted to vote did not have the chance to attend. Even those that did show up were faced with large crowds and the facilities too small to handle everyone. At least the results were decidedly in favor of one candidate. It would have been worse, in my opinion, if it were evenly split. We would have been left to wonder if it was the true choice of the entire state or just the small percentage that voted.

If in democratic primary you will vote for a weaker candidate to help you republican canditate win, that's probably not very ethical. if you vote in democratic primary as if you are a real democrat, that maybe ok, but why would you do it.

Hey, this is politics we're talking about here. Ethical has nothing to do with it. Ethical?!? Hey, this is politics we’re talking about here. Ethical has nothing to do with it.
