[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More like term-limited by politicians who otherwise couldn't keep him out of office [i]because[/i] his constituents kept voting him in.  Many at the polls don't make the connection between an abstract idea, like term limits, and the effect, like term-limiting the County Executive position without grandfathering in prior periods of service meaning that the candidates for that office at the next election may well be less desirable than the incumbent one had preferred to that point.

Honestly, the way the prior post is written, "term-limited [i]by his constituents[/i]" sounds like a shill for Friedson, trying to cast a shade at his opponent, Jawando, whom Elrich decided to support, instead.[/quote]

No. 68% of the voters in the county approved that referendum to kick him out after two terms. 68%

Elrich historically only wins by a tiny plurality. That's why we need rank choice voting so these crappy primaries give us what the people truly want.

404,000 registered democrats in MoCo in 2022.
143,000 voted in 2022 primary.
55,000 voted for Elrich.

People don't like Elrich. 
The system does.

[b]Those who are registered unaffiliated (independent) and actually care about who runs this county, need to switch to Democrat for the primary and vote.

+1 that's what I did.  If you are not  registered as a Dem in this county, your vote is a throw away.[/quote]

25% of all registered voters in MoCo have no party affiliation, including myself. We need open primaries, not for such a large group of voters to choose a party affiliation to get around the "system".[/quote]

Open primaries - that is a system that I wish would gain favor here.[/quote]
