To the editor:

Are readers aware that Republicans and other non-Democrats can vote in the June 8 Democratic primary? Old Town anti-waterfront-development Republicans certainly helped former Mayor Allison Silberberg win in 2015. I certainly do not know whether they will influence this year’s primary, if at all or decisively. But Republicans who claim there must be new voter restrictions to prevent fraud should support legislation preventing this crossover voting in Alexandria primaries.
