[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going back to your original point, while I don’t like the Montgomery county government, and did not vote for them, the majority of the county does, so you are not alone in your opinion.[/quote] Fair point[/quote] It’s not really. 40% of residents are not registered as Democrats which means that they have no say in the process for selecting their representatives who are elected primarily by the most partisan Democrats who vote in the primary. We are talking a fraction of a fraction of eligible voters controlling who gets elected. In a top 2 primary system like California, most of the folks currently serving would not be elected. [/quote] There's nothing stopping residents from registering as Democrats to vote in the primary and have a say.[/quote] Why should someone have to compromise their Constitutional right for freedom of association just to participate in Democracy?[/quote]
