In an open primary, the people can vote on a candidate that may indirectly help theirs. So if they think that an Obama vs Mccain fight is easier to win then Clinton vs Mccain then they'll try and rig it that way.
Here's a scenario:
-You are a latino in cali and you have the option of voting for a BLACK man or a white man that's pro-immigration. Who do you pick?
There's a reason Mccain is so stubbornly not backing off his immigration policy. And trust me, if cali is lost to the reds, it's over.
