What happens to third-party partisans (e.g. Libertarians, Greens) under partisan registration and closed primaries?

I think until I moved to TN, I was in states with closed primaries...why I switched from registering as an independent to a party, so I could vote in primaries.

These slides are great! I heard that this presentation will be (publicly?) available afterwards. Are the slides available somewhere too?

what is the source for the slide on TN competiviness in election races for hous and sente?

(I found source material for some of these slides here: https://www.openprimaries.org/research/)

Can one re-register after having registered once Can one do this before every election

How can we meaningfully contribute to the effort in the lead up to next week? And then again when the Senate bill appears?

How would you counter the argument from partisans wanting closed primaries that many voters in Tennessee strategically choose a ballot in order to weaken the candidate options in the party they would like to defeat?

Is the proposed TN bill designed to prevent one party from crossing over to the other party’s primary and voting a weak candidate through to the general election? How do you answer this concern?

what arguments are being used by those in favor of this change?

Research on the number of "crossover" voters swaying the selection of a party's candidate? For example, Republicans voting in Nashville Democratic primaries or Democrats voting in Republican primaries in very Republican counties e.g. Williamson County?

Question: what have the courts said to claims that in a state whose electorate is overwhelmingly one party, thus closed primaries effectively disenfranchise non-dominant party members?

What is the best way to fight this in TN?

When our (meaning the US or Tn as applicable)voting policies were implemented what was the structure for the primary elections?

Is there a TN specific toolkit with premade media for groups to share this information get the message out?

Information is currently kept in TN, though not publically available that I know of, on the party a voter voted in a primary and used in gerrymandering. Also, know to use in for government job patronage decisions. Research on this issue?

Do you have a sense of how divided elected leaders are on the question of open vs. closed primaries?

Some parties have recently spent a lot of $$ attacking opposing parties stronger candidates.

FYI - crossover voting allegations made in Hamilton County elections this year by some losing candidates.
