Is there a record of how one voted in previous elections?  I think not
since one's vote is a secret.
How many people of either party make contributions?  I cannot see that
as a litmus test.
Would you want to have people digging into your checking account
history?  I certainly would not.

I agree that one can switch parties hardly any difficulty.  They would
simply have to fill out an amended voter registration.  But why go to
that extreme?

In many cases, the election officers are from a local precinct and are
known by their neighbors who might also be election officers.  Making
just such a switch with the purpose of mucking up the voters does not
seem all that plausible.  If it does happen, and voters were denied then
there might well be criminal charges against such a person.
