[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our city council would look pretty different if this was adopted[/quote] Would it? Don't get me wrong - I'm in favor of the ballot initiative - but if the city's 80,000 registered independents were [i]that[/i] jazzed about voting in primaries, they'd register as a democrat, wouldn't they? The Venn diagram of people who register as independent, but want to vote in primaries and refuse to register as democrats for some reason has to be like 3 cranks on DCUM.[/quote] DP: A lot of Independents are registered Independent because of their jobs. Lots of job require apolitical judgments, but don't prevent you from voting. Registering as Independent is the safest approach. The ones I know typically vote Democrat anyway, so I wouldn't expect a huge outcome difference.[/quote]
