BILLBOARDS URGE DEMOCRATS TO VOTE REPUBLICAN IN PRIMARY

A series of billboards are cropping up around Indiana, and an unusual call to Hoosier Democrats is made: vote Republican this May. The crossover push is part of a media campaign by ReCenter Indiana. This bipartisan group seeks to move state politics “closer to the center” and “bring more civility to political discussions,” according to its website.
Signs are already visible in Evansville and Merrillville. ReCenter Indiana’s political action committee will additionally sponsor video advertisements on Instagram and Facebook, emphasizing that Hoosiers — Democrat, Republican, or otherwise — can “directly influence” who will be elected governor by taking a Republican ballot in the primary and “voting for a more moderate gubernatorial candidate.”
The State of Indiana is an “open” primary and allows Democrats to cross over party lines or vice versa. This “policy” has been weaponized to undermine races. Democrat registered voters may “pull” a Republican ballot to manipulate the outcome of an election during the “Primary Election.”
In Evansville, Democrat voting candidate Amy Canterbury was allowed by the Vanderburgh County Republican chairman, Mike Duckworth, to run on the Republican ballot. This occurred at a recent Election Board meeting via a written waiver. The “system” was weaponized to oust Cheryl Musgrave as County Commissioner. ”
