The Michigan Daily floated the idea of Republicans voting for Wallace in the Democratic primary, to embarrass the Democratic party: http://www.michigandaily.com/content/michigan-primary-has-long-history-quirkiness

Honestly, this isn't far-fetched at all. Michigan voters are notorious for doing this in primary season. This is exactly why John McCain won the Michigan primary in 2000. And this may be why the 2012 Republican primary in Michigan was so close.
