There's a lot of discontent with America's political system, including with party-based primary elections. So reform advocates are urging states to move to nonpartisan primaries.
in an effort to close its primary elections so that unaffiliated voters — Colorado's largest voting bloc — can't vote in them. In their suit, Republicans say political parties have the right"to choose their nominees for office without interference by those who are not members of the party."
"You are starting to see states that shut out independent voters have primary elections that are more and more insular and are producing candidates that are less and less representative because fewer and fewer people are able to participate in them," he says."And that's throwing the whole system of democracy in elections out of whack."
Gruber says this is why nonpartisan primary elections are ideal. He says candidates who run in a nonpartisan system"no longer have sort of the necessary fealty to their party's agenda," compared with candidates who have to run in a party primary. In these systems, all candidates from all parties are listed on the same ballot, and voters can vote for any candidate. In California, Washington and Nebraska's statehouse elections, the top two vote-getters — regardless of party — move on to the general election. In Alaska, the top four vote-getters move on. These systems are often referred to as"top-two" and"top-four" primaries.
