Facts
The Republican party of Connecticut (P) adopted a party rule that allowed independent voters to vote in Republican primaries for state and federal offices. The State’s election statutes required voters in any party primary to be registered members of that party. P challenged this provision on grounds that it deprived P of the First Amendment Right to enter into political association with individuals of its own choosing. The District Court granted P summary judgment. The Supreme Court granted certiorari.
