All state primaries are not created equal. But in some of them you must declare your party affiliation, and thus get to vote only for candidates in that party. In effect, that makes it impossible to vote for a candidate you happen to favor in one party if you declare in the other one. But it also creates an interesting opportunity for voters to cross over to the other party when it is convenient to do so in primaries, without affecting how you will be able to vote in the later general election.
