Very ironic coming from the same party that claims they need to "protect democracy". They aren't even allowing "open and fair" elections in their own candidate selection process, yet we're supposed to believe they will do that on a national level?

As Maya Angelou once said, when people show you who they are -- believe them.

No one is required to vote for a party's nominee.

How primaries work is entirely up to the party. They may require votes, weigh some votes more than others, or whatever other scheme they choose internally.

Did the democrats do that this time?
