BFD. Primaries are essentially a private party function anyway, used solely to determine who the party will nominate as its candidate. The law should play no part in it; the parties should run them -- and control them -- as they see fit.

I don't see how enforcing the law disenfranchises anybody.

How do you determine if someone "really believes" what they say they believe?
It's not an objective standard. It could easily be used to bar legitimate voters from voting.
Better to let a few dirtbags vote than to risk keeping legitimate voters from doing so.
If the party wants tighter control, it can issue membership cards or something. But crossover voting shouldn't be a legal violation.
