      @yeselson Again, because "membership" is a trivial concept and not a sound basis for restricting the franchise. That's my view.

      @yeselson T. Marshall and W. Brennan found the notion of voters "raiding" rival parties' primaries overblown:http://nydailynews.com/opinion/michael-tracey-n-y-election-law-disenfranchises-thousands-article-1.2600065 …

      @mtracey Not the issue--sure it doesn't happen much. But why have a process which doesn't eliminate that altogether when you could?

      @yeselson Because it's not worth the tradeoffs. And the state has no business attempting to discern the motivations of voters to begin with.

      @mtracey I think membership is pretty basic for organizations, including parties. If it's not a burden, not sure what bothers you.

      @yeselson Because it's antiquated to conceive of voting in a primary as "joining" an "organization." You are voting, not joining anything.

      @yeselson States ranging from NH to WI to MS get along fine without imposing these party registration burdens -- however trivial.

      @mtracey aren't in the party have a big role in picking the nominee. You can still vote in general election, but primaries are different.

      @yeselson Did the nomination of Obama in 2008 lessen in "meaning" because he tended to fare best in states with open primaries?

      @yeselson I don't know what kind of "meaning" you are striving for here.
