Independet Voting

OK, I NEVER give money on the phone now. Although I do enjoy chatting with the NRA,RNC, Tea Party Express and so on when they call. Anyway, this group, http://independentvoting.org/, actually kept me on the phone long enough to wring out an online donation. I would like to see a whole set of electoral reforms, but open primaries is at least one good start.

She was a very informed called. The emphasis on structural reform sounded smart and good. She said there is a PA chapter. I thought this kind of electoral reform is something CSCC can get behind. Maybe fold into a set of issues for the 2012 cycle about improving the workings of democracy. Also get after bad redistricting, camp finance, and so on.

If we are going to have a two party system, we should have open primary voting. Does anyone know the deadline for registering with a party in order to vote in the primary this April?

According to the LWV pamphlet, the last date to get registered with the party of your choice for the PA primary is March 26, 2012.
