James R. Caskie's paper critiques the interpretations made in a series of editorials by The Lynchburg News regarding voter eligibility in the Democratic Primary. Caskie, disputing the editorials' claims that certain voters were ineligible due to previous voting behaviors, argues that these interpretations misapply legal standards and potentially influenced election outcomes. He examines the Virginia Primary Law's history, provisions, and legal principles to clarify misconceptions and defend voters' rights to participate in primaries regardless of past affiliations.
