People are choosing open primary due to 2008 Supreme Court ruling over Washington State Primary
According to my friends at the Olympian on March 18, 2008. The Supreme Court ruled 7-2. The people can control how people could elect their leaders. They upheld Washington State's Initiative the voters to select their top two vote getters will go to the General Election. Please enjoy political parties the people are in charge again which the constitutional founding fathers intended. The only reason political parties exist is due to a duel in 1800 when Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton. States were a person can decided their candidates are Washington, Louisiana and California starting this year.

This post is not accurate. The March 2008 US Supreme Court ruling did not uphold the top-two system. It only ruled on one point, that the top-two system doesn't violate the associational rights of political parties on its face. The US Supreme Court sent the case back to lower courts to see if it violates ballot access voting rights of minor party voters, or trademark laws, or whether it violates freedom of association as applied.
ReplyDeleteRichard,
DeleteI respect your opinion let's tell the truth here. The supreme court ruled Washington State could do their primary in this manner. I would like your state Pennsylvania to do this as well.
