I’ve seen reports that Democrats have switched to GOP (in closed primary areas) so as to vote in GOP primaries to dilute the “redness” of the chosen candidate. Michigan is open primary, and in my area with had a firm pro-life candidate and a firm pro-choice candidate, both GOP. The local Democrats are being encouraged to vote for the pro-choice GOP candidate in the primary.

I believe this is also occurring in Wyoming with Liz Cheney’s primary
DJH, that certainly accounts for some of the number, and it happens every election cycle. But this time, it seems too widespread and too large a phenomenon to be attributable to primary jumping alone. Not sure you were really saying that it is, of course.
To speed things up in the inner cities, I’d like to see gas stations with little TVs at the pump play JB in a loop saying:
“you ain’t black unless… ”
“you a junkie man… ”
That would be awesome.

No, I’m not saying that the party switch is all of it, but it seems folks are very, very optimistic about a red wave. All during 2020, it seemed so sure that Trump would win, but here we are with Biden and $5 plus a gallon gas and food shortages
In the face of a red wave, of course the Left will be resorting to voting fraud and antifa/BLM/Jane’s Revenge domestic terrorism.
But there’s another grotesque ploy I think we’ll see from the Democrats— I expect that as November draws near they’ll try to remove various Republican candidates from the ballots because they had a connection, however slight, with the “insurrection” of January 6th. Weren’t several Republican candidates in Michigan removed from the ballot in a recent election for that very reason? Furthermore, I’ve seen several ‘news’ articles questioning whether Trump can be banned from running for President in ‘24.
If that’s something the DNC resorts to, I’d expect them to try it closer to the elections, when it would be more difficult for Republican candidates to resolve their cases in time to appear on the ballot.
After what we’ve seen the Left pull in the past two years, I cannot imagine something like this is off the table for them.
