There was only one ballot in VA yesterday and it was all Democratic. The GOP cancelled its primary. The state party will select its delegates at its convention later in the year. But in VA, as long as you're in your correct polling place, you can vote. You do not have to declare a party affiliation.
The Post's story on voting in Virginia yesterday quoted one Republican in NoVA who voted for Sanders as his way of helping Trump. I also know of a Republican who voted for Biden yesterday. He told me that he hadn't decided who he was going to vote for in November, but he at least wanted the option not to vote for Trump. He felt that Bernie did not give him that choice, but of the remaining viable candidates, Biden did.
