Don't let minority rule; vote for Prop. 1

Are you still wondering whether or not you should vote for Proposition 1? May I share my opinion? Yes, yes, yes.

Open primaries: Allows all registered voters a say. If Republicans hadn’t closed their primary some years ago, this would not be necessary. An open primary will give unaffiliated voters an opportunity to participate in the Primary Election.

Rank choice voting: Have you ever had a problem deciding which candidate for which you want to vote? This gives you the perfect opportunity. Rank each candidate in order of your preference. If your number 1 pick doesn’t hit the required number, your second pickl just might. Rank choice encourages more people to vote because they really have a choice. Party Bosses are the ones who don’t want more people voting. Think about that. A healthy Democracy requires as many people participating in the vote as possible.

Do not let the minority rule, vote yes on Proposition 1.
