[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know.  We are just considering moving.  I’m Independent and not changing my registration just because Democrats in MoCo elect fringe candidates.  But I will say this county is digging its own grave vs Virginia.  [/quote]

Same here. I'm not going to pretend to be a Democrat just for primary voting purposes. I've had no party affiliation all along and I plan to stay that way.

We're not moving for a while as our kids are in school (private, after MCPS many failures) and we don't want to uproot them and their friends networks.

Some of the best initiatives in MoCo have been ballot questions, like term limits on county exec and county council; limits on tax increases, and repealing the ambulance tax.

It's too bad we can't have a referendum to make primary elections open (not party-specfic) like they do in more than 20 other states. Here we are supporting candidates in the primary with our tax dollars (due to MoCo's public financing of candidates), but we have no ability to vote for/against those candidates.[/quote]
