The data substantiates this point. On average less than 25%, and in multiple cases in the southern states less than 10%, of the total number of voters in the general election vote in the GOP primary.
Meaning, there is a large number of active voters who could be motivated to vote in the primary.

The GOP is set to win at SCOTUS to gut VRA and eliminate limits on corporate contributions. A grassroots solution to this is to overwhelm MAGA in GOP primaries.
19 states allow open primaries including numerous southern states where gutting of VRA will be impactful. See my profile for more info.

These seven states allow open primary voting, meaning you do not have to register as a Republican to vote in GOP primaries.
As you can see, the average percent of general election voters who vote in GOP primaries is less than 25%.
That means 75% of active voters do not vote in GOP primaries.

Why does this matter? Most MAGA candidates are elected by small majorities of voters. In many cases, turnout in these elections is low and less than 10% of registered voters.
If moderate Dems and Independents voted in primaries like they do in the general, MAGA could easily be defeated.

19 states have open primaries, and most notably, the southern states of Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas.
That means without requiring you to register as a Republican, you are free to vote in their Republican primary election.

The solution, which requires no legislative change, is to drastically increase participation in the GOP primaries to elect non-MAGA GOP members.
Turn the competitive election from the general to the primary. This can be done with just Dems and independents voting in GOP primaries.

Most GOP primaries are relatively low turnout. On average, less than 20% of registered voters participate in GOP primaries.
That means 80% of voters do not cast a vote in GOP primaries. MAGA has a much easier path to dominating a small pool of predictable voters.

The GOP is set to win a major win gutting the Voting Rights Act. It plausibly will greatly expand their House percentage. They are also set to win a decision to remove limits on corporate donations.
There is one way to organically combat these changes: increase voter participation in GOP primaries.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.
Their commitment is to our nation. Thatโs why theyโre speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.
