[EL] Voter who moves states *between* primary dates

[Rob Richie]

 And apologies for spam, but I was looking at an old primary calendar when
asking my question below. Let's have my hypothetical person move from New
Hampshire to New Jersey, which indeed does still hold its primary in
June.... I assume that person can safely vote twice in presidential
primaries this year?
