While states and individuals want open primaries, neither party does for the simple reason that in a year such as 2012, the incumbent party could easily flood the opposition with votes for the weakest candidate, most unelectable, or even one of their own. The courts have said that the parties can choose their own candidates (primary), so it makes sense to not allow a candidate that has not met the party rules. In a general, the party's candidates are set so those concerns don't apply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-22927850422134760732011-12-24T15:06:59.308-05:002011-12-24T15:06:59.308-05:00What a crazy law.

Murkowski successfully pulled this off in AK. <br /><br />On a local level, this happens quite frequently in smaller towns I think. I had a friend who found out his father had been elected mayor of his small SD town. He was the high school janitor. He didn't run and he received 3 votes. None of those 3 votes were his own.Machtynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970086356341341480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-10454955973814562162011-12-24T14:52:08.979-05:002011-12-24T14:52:08.979-05:00Welcome to Right Speak Mac.

As you are, I'm a little confused as well.<br /><br />It seems to me, that if someone goes through the process of tryinging to get on a ballot and "FAILS", by then mounting a write-in candidacy, they are showing a disregard for the law. <br /><br />In the same token, if someone HAD NOT tried to qualify, it appears they may have more of a standing, because they DID NOT try to qualify.<br /><br />I know it sounds a little nuts, but is this possible?BOSMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13613253160155525089noreply@blogger.com
