This is from a Huffington Post Article. Its crazy, silly but maybe it happened!!
Fact: The primaries in Virginia are "Open". That means Democrats can vote in a GOP Primary so; in theory this could have happened

Former congressman Ben Jones (D-Ga.), better known as "Cooter" from Dukes of Hazzard, has a plan to knock Eric Cantor out of the House. He's urging his fellow Democrats to cross over and vote for a tea party-backed candidate in Virginia's primary election.
Cooter, who ran against Cantor in 2002, has penned an open letter calling upon Democrats in his former Virginia district to vote in the open primary next Tuesday for tea party opponent Dave Brat in order to defeat U.S. House Majority Leader Cantor.
Crossing party lines to vote in an open primary has a long tradition in the solidly one-party South, Cooter argues in his letter. "[B]y voting for David Brat in the Seventh District Republican primary, we Democrats, independents, and Libertarians can make a big difference in American politics," he argues. "It is your right to cast that vote. It is an 'open' primary and it doesn’t preclude anyone from voting anyway they wish in November. It may be the only way to empower those who want to make a statement about the dysfunctional Congress and 'politics as usual.'"
I am not sure if we can measure how many Democrats or Non Republicans voted in the election that handed Cantor his Touches:
Its crazy, but I have no sympathy for Cantor or any of the GOP. Maybe this is an opportunity. The 7th Congressional District is in Northern Virginia that is 25% minority. Is is as wacky as some of the Southern Virginia areas, I don't know but its fun to watch.
