To vote in the Virginia Republican primary, you must now swear an oath

[Harksaw 0]

An oath saying you will vote for whatever candidate the Republican Party nominates.

Which has got to be illegal (you can't have a contract forcing someone to vote a certain way), but is surely at least unenforceable.

But aside from that, it's an insult to your constituents.

It looks to be very much meaningless

"America will never be destroyed from the outside,
if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

It's not meaningless if you believe in God.

If true, is the origin concern that Democrats or Independent voters might vote in the primary for Rep Ron Paul?

Something like that happened in Alberta last year.
The ruling Conservative party was electing a new leader; the winner became the Premier.
After the first round it looked like a very conservative evolution denier would win. Activists in the two left of centre parties told their faithfull to go join the Conservative Party so they could vote against the bible thumper candidate. They were successful; the third guy on the ballot came up the middle and is the Premier today.
