Democrats and Independents feel left out. We are being gerrymandered to the point where our vote doesn’t count. Since there are more states where Republicans control the legislature, we can’t win the gerrymander wars started by Texas.
What if, we could legally hack the system? What if we all turned Republican for a bit - Just long enough to vote in the Primary? Just long enough to influence the Republican slate of candidates?
In swing states where closed primaries lock out the middle, a stealth movement is growing. Voters are switching parties—not to change their values, but to change the outcome. They wear the mask. They jam the maps. They vote upstream. And they’re invisible to the system that’s trying to control them.
A civic disruption tactic where independents and disillusioned Democrats temporarily register as Republicans in closed primary states—not to change their beliefs, but to change the ballot. The goal: block extremist candidates upstream, before they reach general elections.
Voters legally switch party affiliation to Republican before the primary deadline.
After voting in the GOP primary, they can switch back if they want.
In states like AZ, TX, FL, and NC, GOP primaries are closed—only registered Republicans can vote.
This locks out independents and moderates, allowing fringe candidates to win by default.
Primaries have low turnout (often <20%), making them vulnerable to strategic infiltration.
A few thousand stealth voters can flip outcomes in key districts.
