What are the two different parts of primaries and what do they do?
Primaries consist of two main types: open primaries and closed primaries. In open primaries, voters can choose which party's primary to participate in, regardless of their registered party affiliation. In contrast, closed primaries require voters to be registered with a specific party to vote in that party's primary. These systems determine how candidates are selected for the general election and can influence voter turnout and party dynamics.
How many states are left to vote in the primaries?
At the moment there are about 16 States left to vote. The biggest state still to vote in the primaries is Texas with 228 delegates. Other important states yet to vote are Pennsylvania with 188, Ohio with 161 and North Carolina with 134 delegates. Texas and Ohio will vote on Mar 4, Pennsylvania on April 22 and North Carolina on May 6. In total these remaining big states make-up 771 delegates. The total of delegates of the other 12 smaller states is 480. So we just might have to wait until June 7th when Puerto Rico the last state casts its vote before it is clear which Democractic candidate (Hillary vs. Obama) wins the primaries or it may be left to the super delegates (whoever they are and however that works???).

What are the modified primaries?
Modified primaries refer to elections where the rules have been altered to allow certain types of voters, such as independents, to participate in the primary election process. This modification can vary by state and can include open primaries, semi-closed primaries, or semi-open primaries. The aim is to broaden participation and potentially increase voter turnout.
Are there any states with closed primaries where an independent can vote in the primary?
Yes, some states with closed primaries allow independents to vote in the primary elections. These states often have "open" or "semi-open" primary systems where unaffiliated voters can choose to participate in one party's primary. However, the rules vary significantly by state, so it's essential for voters to check the specific regulations in their state regarding primary voting eligibility.
