On March 21, the California State Appeals Court, 4th district, division one, issued an opinion in Boydston v Padilla, D080921. It is 24 pages long and can be seen here. It says that independent voters have no constitutional right to vote in partisan presidential primaries. Some California parties do permit independent voters to vote in their presidential primaries, but others do not. Each party decides for itself before a presidential primary is held. The plaintiffs argued that independent voters must be permitted to vote in any party’s primary, regardless of that party’s wishes.
Generally the California Democratic Party permits independent voters to vote in its presidential primary, whereas the California Republican Party does not, although it did permit them to do so in 2004.
Boo hiss commiefornicators.
YET ANOTHER REASON TO ABOLISH ALL PRIMARIES.

The American Independent Party of California also has generally allowed the Decline to State/No Party Preference voters to vote in its Presidential Primary.
No primate primary lies, no primaries. One of the few things AZ gets right, because even a broken alphabet is right twice out if every 26 latter’s, much like a broken click is right once or twice every 24 hours. Too bad he gets so much else wrong.
Sorry, I was in too much of a hurry and didn’t correct the autocorrects. My English is significantly better than the last comment might lead you to believe.
Max. Why would anyone care how bad it good your foreign or native language skills are? If you are trying to create some kind of backstory impression you work for Gruppa Wagnera, Internet Research Agency, Utkin, Volodin, Prigozhin, or anything or anyone similar, you might wish to stop coming off as an OCD idiot American or some kind of loser so insecure and vain at the same time you would fantasize that someone would care. Poshol blya!
This is a great ruling. It reinforces the principle of the associational rights of political parties recognized in Eu v San Francisco.
Given that it was rendered in a case about primaries, it could serve as the basis of a constitutional challenge to top-x primaries
I’m self employed. What are you babbling about? I don’t work for Prigozhin, and am barely aware who he even is. I don’t know who the other two are without looking them up. I’m not government intel of any kind and never claimed to be. Wagner Group is pretty cool, but I’ve never worked for them, and highly doubt I could qualify if I tried to sign up. I don’t know what I ever said to make you draw those conclusions or more accurately, make up lies with no basis regarding me. Mezh proch suka, Sam poshol. I had to correct autocorrect each word there. So annoying. Note to self, look up how to turn autocorrect off completely.
My apologies to Walter, as I was addressing some condescending peasant who called himself Boris immediately above you in the comments.
TVAYOU MAT MAX
Rather than to dignify that, dorogoya boryachka, I shall just inquire as to whether you name yourself after our drunkard former president, or whether perhaps you are bored enough due to lack of imagination and interests. Ever try duolingo? Chess online? Solving mathematical puzzles? Exploring Google earth? Turning sound function on in accessible internet within your browser or phone settings and making the vast repositories of original works and other things you may wish to learn online your own books on tape if you need to keep your eyes on the road or whatever?
How about…Training your mind and body in countless ways you can at any free moment or while multitasking? Learn day trading? Make deals of some sort or work a first or second job, depending if you have a first, on phone or online? Make a business? Ever try Khan academy or anything similar? We can just keep going. Anyone who is ever bored these days should search his own soul or mind or both as to what is wrong with him.
So, you see, I don’t actually have to resort to fenya or the other mat (not matushka) to insult you. I prefer to think of it as opening up your mind rather than insulting you. You are most certainly welcome. Yest za shto.
Max max max,
OI MATE! YER MUM!
