It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Just a question about this. Is this even possible? In Texas do people have to register by party? I live in a state where party registration is not required, so the Democratic party does not honor our primary votes in assigning delegates - they use our state caucus instead, because people attending those proclaim to be Democrats and may be identified publicly as such. They do this so they can avoid the very situation you describe; they only want Democrats choosing the Democratic party nominee. If you must register by party in Texas, are you saying that people registered as Republicans can still vote Democrat? (in some states where you register by party, I think you're only offered the ballot of your party) If so, why does the Democratic party accept the primary vote in Texas, but not in some other states?
