AUSTIN (Nexstar) — The Republican Party of Texas is looking to change the way it selects its nominees for elections across the state.

Abraham George, chair of the Republican Party of Texas, said that the party’s executive committee has decided to file a lawsuit to challenge the state’s open primary system.

“We decided we’re going to move forward with filing a lawsuit against the state, because in the 89th session, we had multiple bills that would have done this,” George said. “So it’s in our best interest, the party’s best interest, for us to go to court and get that done now.”

Last year, the Texas GOP changed its bylaws to state that only Republicans can vote in a GOP primary. Under this closed system, voters must register with either the Democratic or Republican Party in order to vote in that party’s primary. Some states have semi-closed primaries, where voters who do not affiliate with a party can vote in either primary. Other primary systems include top-two primaries, where the top two candidates advance to the general regardless of their party.
