Oklahoma has changed their primary to an open primary this year. This means Oklahoma's independent voters were able to cast ballots in Democratic primary elections. I haven't seen if that had an impact or not, but personally I have a problem allowing an independent voter to vote in a party's primary, when they were never registered as part of that party. The open primary I believe is up to the respective party's rules, but I think it isn't a good policy
