Hawver: Party switching could affect election

If you've been in Kansas long enough to have finished breakfast, you understand that the primary election is Aug. 7, and its results will to a large degree determine what the Kansas Legislature will be up to for the next two sessions.

And it is also the election where there is a probability of a fair amount of — how do we say this politely — political decision-making and cross-dressing.

That's where a registered voter who hasn't declared a party affiliation can just wander into the voting place, sign a little piece of paper, and declare him/herself a registered Democrat, and get a Democratic primary election ballot. Even a registered Republican can make the switch on Election Day and get a Democratic ballot. It's all done.

But if that unaffiliated voter on primary Election Day decides he/she would like to pare the crop of Republican candidates ... it's too late.

If you're not a registered as a Republican on July 17, when the election roll for the primary election closes, you're not getting a Republican primary election ballot. Or, you might get one, but an elections canvass board sometime toward the end of the week of Aug. 7 will likely toss out your ballot.

That July 17 date — well, it makes some sense if you are a Republican and don't want a bunch of Democrats changing their voter registration at the last minute to vote for the most moderate candidate to carry the other party's banner in the general election.

That Democrat-to-Republican cross-dressing tends to occur when Democrats decide to choose the most moderate Republican — a so-called Republican In Name Only (RINO) — for the general election ballot in districts where Republican registration is so heavy that it would take a restraining order to defeat the GOP candidate at the general election.

Why is the potential party switch by Democrats a big deal this election cycle? It's because in the Kansas House, this year's elections are over in 18 districts at the primary election. There are 17 GOP-primary only races and one Democrat-primary only race. The winner is your new House member. In the Kansas Senate, there are eight Republican primary-only races, where the winner of the primary comes to Topeka. (Sure, there could be minor party candidates, but chance of any of them winning the general election is tiny.)

The majority of those races are conservative Republicans vs. moderate Republicans, where the outcome — especially in the Senate — determines just how much of what Gov. Sam Brownback wants gets approved by the Legislature next year.

Does that make clear why Democrats might consider registering as a Republican before July 17? And does that make it clear why Republicans who back Brownback are a little fussy about who is meddling in their primary elections?

We thought so.

We won't know about that party-switching for a couple weeks, but it might be interesting to see how long those Democrat-turned-Republicans can hold their breath in the pool of the Grand Old Party ...
