I'm not involved in that rigging conversation you guys are having. My point is very simple "pick a party" is an unnecessary barrier established by corrupt political machines.
When only 11 states follow this rule of law one only needs to look at the literature to understand why it was implemented.
Let's not also forget that not only is the primary CLOSED, you CAN'T even CHANGE your party. How does that make sense? You understand that means if you have a coming to jesus moment that leads you to the Republican party after November you're effectively removed from participating at all?
But

NY only has one of the lowest voter turnouts in the country
Bang up job they're doing with voter motivation
