How They Voted 2 — Modified Primaries

SB 1507: The bill approved by the Senate would make a public record out of whether voters choose Republican, Democratic or other party ballots. It also would let Republicans pay for their own primary elections, if they still weren’t satisfied.

Correct Vote: Hell no. (At the last minute, Senate R’s tried to appease archconservatives who threatened to sue unless the Legislature voted to close the state’s popular 36-year-old primary system. The extremists are going to sue anyway. So Senate R’s should have taken a stand and supported the current system. The House chose not to hear this matter.)

Good votes (against) : John Goedde & Joyce Broadsword
Bad votes (in favor): Shawn Keough, Jim Hammond & Mike Jorgenson
