Closed Primaries

If someone runs as no party but loses ending primary to a democrat, can they run in the general election as a republican?
For example, the current Mayor of Abbeville lost in the primary, but doesn’t have a party affiliation.

Most states independents aren’t on primaries only the two recognized parties. Idk how it is for your state specifically.

Think they would have had to win the Republican primary.

really? It was a two-person race for mayor, it wasn't a "primary", Someone had to have more that 50% of the vote so Abbeville got a new major.

Got it, for some reason I didn’t think this was the general election.

Not sure if the new mayor can speak proper english.

Closed primaries don’t apply to local elections. Or most elections for that matter.
It’s just us senate, us house, psc, Supreme Court, and BESE.
