I think switching parties to mess with the other party should be considered election fraud and should be a federal crime. Of course it would be nearly unenforceable as you would have to prove intent. However, the law on the books would stop many from doing it. On top of that, encouraging/organizing others to do this should be a very big federal crime which would be much easier to prove.
Democracy is about voting for who you think would be the best candidate. It should not be a game in which we try to find creative ways to skirt voters intentions in order to win.
