Supreme Court voids Wisconsin open presidential primary
The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled Wisconsin’s open presidential primary violates the Democratic Party’s First Amendment rights by allowing cross over voting. Justice Stewart wrote that parties define associational rights to limit participation in delegate selection, rejecting arguments that open primaries preserve integrity or secrecy. Other states with open primaries include Michigan Montana and Idaho for delegate selection.
