Bill Clutter, a private investigator in Springfield, Illinois, is launching an initiative to change the Illinois open primary, from one in which primary voters must ask for one particular party’s primary ballot, to one in which primary voters in the secrecy of the voting booth choose one party’s primary ballot. States with secret open primaries include Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Here is the initiative petition. In states with secret open primaries, the voter is limited to voting in only one party’s primary. Thanks to Nancy Hanks for the link.
