New York Times Covers Possible Raiding of Utah Democratic Primary

The June 16 issue of the New York Times has this story, about the possible danger to the Utah Democratic Party, in its upcoming June 22 primary. Utah Democrats have an open primary. Any registered voter may vote in that primary. There is some reason to believe that opponents of the Democratic Party plan to vote in the party’s primary, and vote for the perceived weaker candidate, to make it more likely that the Democrats will lose the general election for U.S. House, 2nd district.
