Republican voters in Northeast Indiana who are considering "crossing over" to vote in the Democratic Presidential Primary need to know that you could be breaking the law.

Most of us would like to play some role in determining whether Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama wins the state's 72 delegates in the race for the Democratic Party nomination.

But Allen County Election Board official Andy Downs says, for many republicans, the spirit of the law suggests you should stay out of it.

Crossover voting also happened in the March 4th Ohio Primary.

Indiana law says, if you voted for a majority of republicans in the last election, you're supposed to vote republican in the May 6th Primary.

Here's where it gets tricky, state law says, if you didn't vote in the last election, you’re supposed to vote in the party primary where you expect to make the majority of your selections come the next general election.

Andy Downs/(D) Allen County Election Board: " But that's the only check and balance on this, so, this is very much an honor system, and as long as we have the secret ballot, as long as no one gets to know what you're doing, there are going to be components of the voting system that are based on honor. The blessing and the curse of the secret ballot is the secret ballot itself, that we don't know what you did."

Downs says, if you wouldn’t run a stop light at 3 a-m when nobody's looking, then you shouldn’t vote in the wrong primary, even if your chances of getting caught are slim and none.
