Republicans are set up on one side and Democrats on the other side of the room. Go to the Democrat side and vote Hillary (so Obama has less votes) and then go to the Republican side and vote Huckabee (who you really want to win...but he lost). Both parties have the SAME list of names for that precinct. They don't cross off the names ~ you can vote either way, even if you are a registered Democrat or Republican. You are not held to a particular vote. I was told that Democrats don't care if Republicans vote, and they allow it even if you are not a registered Democrat. I voted today this way and then voted in the Caucus for Hillary again.
Constitutional amendments must be ratified by the votes of 3/4 of the State Legislatures. There is no requirement for a plebiscite, or vote of the people. Each State Legislature can, if it chooses, base its decision on a popular vote, but I'm not aware that any do.
Gaining the right to vote is called enfranchisement.
Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth of the U.S. Although Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by birthright, residents of Puerto Rico pay no federal income tax, nor can they vote in presidential General elections much like the residents of Washington, DC. Residents can vote in the primaries and send delegates to both the Democrat and Republican conventions. It would require an amendment to the US Constitution to give Puerto Rico votes in the electoral college or they could choose to become the 51st state. Puerto Ricans who reside in any other state can vote for president.

No, Canadians cannot vote in US national elections. Only US citizens are eligible to vote in federal elections.
Texas has an open primary system meaning so long as you don't vote in the republican primary you can vote in the Democratic primary. I believe that they stamp your voter registration card with a stamp showing that you participated in the primary election.
Yes, a republican may vote for a democrat in the primary in the state of Texas. A person in any state can always vote the way that they please.
In a closed primary in Texas, voters can only participate in the primary of the party they are registered with. In an open primary, voters can choose which party's primary they want to participate in regardless of their party affiliation.
Texas has an open primary system in which all registered voters are allowed to participate. However, a voter may only vote in one Party's primary. You may not vote, or participate, in more than one political party's primary election.

In order to obtain a primary nomination in Texas, a candidate must receive a majority of the popular vote, which is defined as more than 50% of the total votes cast. If no candidate receives a majority, a runoff election is held between the top two candidates.
Kansas has closed primaries. Voters registered as Republicans can vote only in the Republican primary; Democrats can vote only in the Democratic primary. Registered Independents can change their affiliation and vote in that primary.
