    Which AVTS 
    accounts are running open primaries this year and when do they start early 
    voting? 
      
    Ken  
   There may have 
  been some confusion on this, so I will elaborate.  Open primaries (using 
  GES parlance at least) means putting a party-specific races for more than one 
  party on the same ballot.  Closed primaries means seperate ballots for 
  each party.  Open primary accounts sometimes use party preference races, 
  sometimes they just disallow crossover. 
  The AVTS does not 
  currently handle open primary ballots.  I need to know if we have any 
  AVTS accounts run open primaries this year.  I would also, for the 
  record's sake, like know what GEMS accounts and States run open primaries 
  and/or use party preference races.
