why in the hell would they vote against it?
I don’t understand why any party would vote to allow nonparty members to vote in a party election.
That is crazy. All primaries should be closed to the party they represent.
Names and addresses of the scum should be made public.............
“Harris also said he heard from more than 100 constituents in the area, with around 70 percent supporting closed primaries. He said those who expressed concern over the proposal were primarily Democrats and independent voters who feared the change would essentially prohibit them from having a voice in local primary elections.”
I’m shocked...
Someone needs to put this measure on a republican primary ballot...or directly out to the republican voters. This is nonsense. The establishment wins again.
The Tennessee Party sees a need for Democrats to decide who the winner of the Republican Primary will be. It is likely the Democrats will know who their nominee will be early in the Season and will concentrate on the Republican primaries. That is what happened in 2008 and of course they didn’t have a contest in 2012. I am a registered Democrat and I stay in touch here in Florida. I can hear the undercurrents.
It makes it easier to get rid of conservative senators and Representatives.
Actually it doesn’t really matter all that much. If the Primary is closed many of the Democrats, already knowing who their own Candidate will be, temporarily change their registrations and vote in the Republican primaries instead of the Democrat primaries. They choose the Republican candidate or rather they reinforce the RNC’s choice. This time around there will be much more attention paid to the Congressional candidates, also.
This GOP-e butt-$%@$ing is for you.
