All true. Open primaries and rank choice voting help break up gerrymandering and 2 party paralysis. #openprimary #rankthevote

@thetnholler.bsky.social Remember, #tennessee is an #openprimary state. So if you want to vote against #fascism in #uspol *twice* in the same election year, you know what to do!

Proponents of the #OpenPrimary proposal said a 2008 SCOTUS decision makes the #Oklahoma Republican Party's objection to SQ 836 moot, but Oklahoma GOP leaders argued otherwise.

There is a serious *independent* candidate for Governor of #tennessee. #davidhatley says his campaign is “built not bought”. https://hatleyforgovernor.com

He’s not on the August 5th primary ballot, and we have an #openprimary here (despite #republican attempts to close it), so if you consider […]

We the people, right? When ballot measures pass, the people have spoken... or maybe not.

#Colorado legislature passed an amendment before citizens vote, delaying it until 2028.

Legislative Meddling Around Colorado's Top Four Ballot Measure? (Video Highlights)
Election reform is officially on the ballot for voter approval in Colorado this year. This 'Top Four' voting system is similar to the Alaska model of a unified #openprimary plus #rankedchoicevoting general election. But there is a catch to this Colorado ballot measure, and it came via the state legislature in the final moments of the 2024 session. The amendment in question requires at least 12 Colorado municipalities to pass and implement ranked choice voting elections before the state can do so. Thus it could delay citizen will on this issue until at least 2028, even if voters overwhelmingly pass the initiative in November. Take in three differing perspectives in this 'Best Of Podcast Video' featuring: (1) Jeni Arndt: nonpartisan Mayor of For Collins, Colorado, former 3-term House Member (2) Barbara Kirkmeyer: Colorado State Senator; District 23 (3) Chris Hansen: Colorado State Senator; District 31 📜✅ Follow our channel for updates on nonpartisan state level election reform efforts this year.

If we want to call ourselves a democracy, it’s about time we act like it. It’s time for open primaries.

The #toptwo #openprimary system was a nice idea. We'll get more "moderate" candidates, they said, instead of more "extreme" ones. Not so much. Instead of voting your heart in the primary, you have to vote for someone who can make the top two or risk 2 MAGAs. Let's go back to party primaries.

Anybody else in NYC/Brooklyn running into creepy people canvassing for an #openprimary ?

A very white kid in a polo, khakis fixated on me & a friend, tried to force a conversation, and when they finally gave up, said a passive aggressive 'Have a blessed day.'
