1. I'm already registered, but I have a question.

I don't think we register under political parties in Virginia. Do we expect much meddling from Republicans in the Commonwealth who will vote for Democratic candidates to screw with the result?

2. There's always talk, but it usually doesn't amount to anything.

Only thing that worries me is now that Donny got away with election interference. His supporters are taking a page from him.

3. I don't think it is much of an issue

There is no provision to state your affiliation when registering. Records are kept of which party's primary you have voted in. You aren't allowed to vote in both.

IMO It happens to a greater extent in local election primaries. R's will try to get a poor Democratic candidate on the ballot for local (county or city) positions.

IMO the few votes made by people in the Democratic Presidential Primary who will not vote Democratic in the main election are probably not going to change the outcome.
