I should point out that to people not familiar with Texas election law and Texas politics, our system is officially not registered by party but voting in the primary could be interpreted as which party you affiliate with. This is especially true if they come from a state that does register by party.

Of course, anyone familiar with Texas would know that we have a long history of people crossing party lines to vote in a primary. For example, if there is a single Republican candidate in an important race, many Republicans will vote for the worst possible candidate in the Democratic primary. This helps the Republican win. And, of course, this happens in reverse with Democrats voting in Republican primaries.

And there is no excuse for any college professor in Texas who teaches government to not know this. It should have been pointed out BY the professor that this is one reason no one knows the true number of Republicans or Democrats in Texas.
