It’s pretty common for people to vote in the other party’s primary (which is what registers you in most states) when they’ve got an incumbent from their own.
If they view their own primary as unimportant, they can register with the other party and vote for the least-objectionable (or, more nefariously, the least-electable) candidates.
I registered Republican this year because the Dems in my primary were already locked in. So I’m technically a registered Republican even though I’ve never voted Republican in the general election.

“it’s pretty common”? Is it? Do you have a source to support your claim?
Wut?
