Lots of Cross-Over Voting by Republicans

In his post at the Sky News web site today, blogger Dave of NixGuy.com wrote that while "there’s been some talk about Republicans voting Democratic in order to
run against Hillary as they see her as the weaker candidate in November," he thinks that in the end "most Republican voters will vote on the Republican ticket."

Still, there are reports of lots of cross-over voting. Reporters for The Plain Dealer wrote on Openers this afternoon that "poll watchers throughout Ohio are noting large numbers of Republican voters crossing over to vote in the Democratic Primary." They say that one precinct in thoroughly Republican Chagrin Falls had 70% Democratic voting, a reversal of the usual ratio. In another Republican stronghold, Chester Township in Geauga County, Democratic ballots outnumbered Republican ballots by nearly 50% early in the day.
