I've taken advantage of this myself when I've had it available but it's really a stupid idea. If you want a say in Party X's nominees, then join Party X. Otherwise, quit crying about who they choose to nominate.
because someone has drawn the lines to make damn sure my vote doesn't count?

Allowing people to say 90 days before the primary "let me vote in X primary" would be the same as switching parties to get into the primary. Without having to stand up & be counted as a member of that party.
