No. Everyone gets to choose one ballot to submit. The lawsuit argues that many of PA's districts are decided in the primaries because there is no chance for the opposition party to win in the general election.
I think we'd be better served establishing Ranked Choice Voting for the general election.
This is exactly why it should be open.
By allowing everyone to vote in all primaries, 100% of the votes influence the end result.
In the current scenario, the minority party can only vote between who will get to lose the general.
Oh, and I totally agree with ranked choice, but I'll take any progress I can get.
