Because the Democrats rarely are challenged, so those are the party members that vote blindly. <br /><br />Republicans research their candidates and vote informed. Because our Republican primaries always have more than two candidates. <br /><br />So, you want to dissolve the current system that provides you multiple candidates to chose from.

And I do so mainly for the presidential elections. But, because I HAVE to pick a party it makes me have to not vote for some local races in the primary election. I have to leave some blank. I study the people running, their background, their morals - not the party they are associated with.

I will take your example and show you where it is wrong. <br /><br />Back when the school board was partisan you had two Democrats, Sam Anderson and Anne Woodle. There were seven active Republicans. Today, there are only three board members that Brian Hornbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07096128266090814434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900749.post-41610515261638188802009-09-08T18:30:26.381-04:002009-09-08T18:30:26.381-04:00Because Doofus, me and Political Leverage live in ...Because Doofus, me and Political Leverage live in Briggs district.

Brad Anders changed his vote from Leuthold to Tank on round 2. Ivan Harmon, Shouse, Hammond, Lambert were solid "Tank" votes throughout.<br /><br />There is plenty of blame to go around.

Our school board is already non-partisan. I looked at the charter and talked with the election commission, and if a charter change could be done to the election section of the charter Knox County could have non-partisan elections. I don't think we need to change anything else, just make elections non-partisan. If we can getAlan Summersnoreply@blogger.com
