PROP 1: Parties should pick their own candidates

I’m writing this letter to try to put some common sense into the whole proposition one issue. First, why would anybody else want to vote in another parties primary? The only answer is to ensure that the least qualified person from that other party is voted for, and in such is on the general ballot. Everybody has an option to vote in the primary election. You’re not being held back, you have just got to join the party that you want to be with.

Next comes ranking system, this is not a situation where you should be getting a crybaby award because you didn’t win. This is purely a one person vote situation. You do not have a right to say if mine doesn’t work this time I want another selection. If you think that that’s just stupid.

I know this is a ramble, but in the end, the parties should be able to pick their own person no matter what the other side likes each person in elections should be given one.

I did my best not to make this about individual parties, but in the end, it is all about the parties. All you have to do is become a member of that party and vote along with that party.
