 Primary election - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This "blanket primary" was struck down by the United States Supreme Court as violating the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of assembly in the case California Democratic Party v.
A primary election is an election in which registered voters in a jurisdiction select the candidates who will enter a subsequent election (nominating primary).
Because many Washingtonians were disappointed over the loss of the blanket primary, which the Washington State Grange helped institute in 1935, the Grange filed Initiative 872 in 2004 to establish a qualifying primary for partisan races, thereby allowing voters to once again cross party lines in the primary election.

 U.S. presidential primary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The long process of choosing the President of the United States begins with a series of individual state primary elections, in which voters in particular parties express their preference among a series of candidates.
In a semi-closed primary, voters unaffiliated with a party (independents) may choose a party primary in which to vote.
This has not always been the case, however; until the latter half of the 20th century, nominees were indeed chosen by a nominating convention of mostly party leaders.
