Washington County sheriff was on the primary this spring. There were no Democratic candidates running for sheriff, and I heard that over 1000 Democrats changed parties just to vote for the r candidate they wanted on the ballot this fall. Maybe whoever explained what happened last spring oversimplified it and maybe the Dems who voted for the r candidates didn't have to switch their affiliation to vote.

Anyway, this is good to know. We have to know as much as possible and share it.
