Malloy: Get rid of primaries

Idaho Secretary of State Lawrence Denney, who as House Speaker was instrumental in bringing the closed-primary system that discourages large numbers from voting, is now working with colleagues from other states to promote higher voter turnouts in primary elections. He and his fellow secretaries are not having much success. They’ve talked concepts such as vote by mail, internet voting and making voters automatically registered to vote. In Idaho, voter participation in primaries is low, regardless of the format. “Lack of participation is not unique to Idaho; it’s happening nationwide. If we find the thing that does work, you’ll see it in every state,” Denney says/ Chuck Malloy , Idaho Politics Weekly. More here .
