The New York state Democratic Party meets on May 23-24. According to this story, some Democrats are working to get a vote at that meeting on whether to change the party bylaws, and allow independent voters to vote in Democratic Party primaries.

The change will need a vote of two-thirds of the delegates.

The article reveals that the state party’s Executive Director, Geoff Berman, did not even know that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1986 that if parties want to allow independents to vote in their primaries, they have the power to make that decision, no matter what state election law says. That case was Tashjian v Republican Party of Connecticut.
