If  someone wanted to sign a petition for a Green
candidate, could they switch  to Green now and
back to D later in time for the D primary,
and  apparently the answer is no.

My recollection is that one can register to vote in an  election in 
California up to fifteen (15) days before the election.  As a  general rule, I would 
not want individuals to register Green just for the  purpose of qualifying 
someone onto our Primary Election ballot when you know  they do not intend to do so 
for any other reason.  This is exactly one of  the tactics that can be used 
to put "ringers" and "sabateurs" on our ballot and  is another example of our 
vulnerability as a small party where we do not have a  NOTA option and often 
have only one candidate (if any) on our Primary Election  ballot.  Warner
