1 million voters left out in PA primary
I ran across this Tribune-Review article today. It talks about PA being one of fourteen states (all of my searches have yielded more than 14 states) with a closed-primary. A closed-primary is one in which Independent voters do not participate. This article really got me thinking. While it makes sense for members of political parties to vote for “their candidate”, Independents and other political parties are at a severe disadvantage. I plan to do more research on the issue and will post my finding/opinions here.
Feel free to post your comments!
