All true. In most states, whether a voter selected a Democratic or Republican ballot in a primary election is a matter of public record and thus made available to anyone that wants it for a modest fee. The respective parties always buy the lists as they are incredibly useful when you are targeting which voters you want to encourage to turn out.
