The political party Primary Election system within our democracy is under attack. Political expediency and giving priority to process over voter access is closing the door to election creditability. When you remove the opportunity for a run-off primary, you take away the basic American principle of fair elections, where the winner is chosen by a true majority of the party primary voters by 50% + 1. Having just one election many times leads to the "universal primary" where all political parties get to decide the primary candidate. This erodes the competition of true political philosophies from taking the field for a healthy debate and vote, which are key to a strong democracy. I voted no today because I do not believe that political incumbents should have the advantage of the no run-off process. Re-election on substance and record should be the only advantage given an incumbent...not a rigged system.
