This practice is commonly known as "party raiding" or "party crossover voting." It aims to manipulate the candidate selection process by strategically voting for a weaker candidate in the opposing party's primary. It can disrupt the democratic process and undermine the principles of fair and open elections.

What are Open Primary elections?
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_elections#TypesOpen. A registered voter may vote in any party primary regardless of his own party affiliation. When voters do not register with a party before the primary, it is called a pick-a-party primary because the voter can select which party's primary he or she wishes to vote in on election day. Because of the open nature of this system, a practice known as "raiding" may occur. "Raiding" consists of voters of one party crossing over and voting in the primary of another party, effectively allowing a party to help choose its opposition's candidate. The theory is that opposing party members vote for the weakest candidate of the opposite party in order to give their own party the advantage in the general election. An example of this can be seen in the 1998 Vermont senatorial primary with the election of Fred Tuttle for the Republican candidate.
