Closing the Primaries

Closing the Primaries

Someone in New Hampshire is singing my song:

The New Hampshire House is scheduled to vote today on a bill that would end a primary voter's right to reclaim independent voter status right after voting.

The current primary system lets an undeclared voter cast either a Democratic or Republican Party ballot, then re-register as an undeclared voter before leaving the polling place.


Of course, as one of those courthouse cronies who cares more about who is sheriff than who is president, my interest in this is primarily parochial.
