How do the Primarys work

Tweet

The media has not explained how the primarys work and I am not sure that people know how the primarys and Cacuses work in other states. For example in Wisconsin I can be a registered Republican but can vote in the Democratic Primary. Is it right that as a Republican I should be selecting the Democratic Candidate for office? In some states all you need is a letter from the utility company to vote in the primary or general election. I live in state x and own a summer home in state y(which has open voter registration the day of the election) I can vote in both states not legally but I could chance it. The primary system needs to be changed. The Wisconsin primary is in April and by that time the Canadates have been selected by both parties and I have had no say in the decision. I have heard several different ideas on how each party can select their canadites. One suggestion is to have four super primarys. Another is to have one primary day nationwide. Others have suggested only the memebers of the party be allowed to vote in the primary of their party. Another suggestion is to hole the primary like the British hold their elections - you have 6weeks to get your message out and campain. Should we change the way we select the party nomoniee? Should we have the same rules for all states? Should wwe have a national voter ID card for the Primary and General Election?
