South Carolina Bill for Closed Primaries

South Carolina Representative Dwight Loftis (R-Greenville) has introduced HB 3581. It would provide that the voter registration form should ask applicants about party membership. Then, it would permit parties to close their primaries so that only party members could vote in those primaries. However, it also recognizes the right of a party to let independent voters vote in its primaries, if the party notifies the state of its wishes.

The bill has nine co-sponsors, all Republicans. They are Alan Clemmons, Mike Burns, Bill Chumley, Bill Taylor, G. Murrell Smith, Adam Morgan, Josiah Magnuson, Bobby Cox, and Jeff Bradley.

  1. How many PURGE lists ready to be used ???

    See Stalin/Hitler murder PURGES in the 1930s.

    NO primaries.

    PR and AppV

  2. This news just out today. Not to be outdone by the national LP’s recent installation of the one-party system by using AppV in their single-winner districts including Prez, the California LP has now adopted TWO, that’s right two, one-party systems for their upcoming April 5th executive elections where the time for as many as thirteen single-winner elections for both sets and to take so much more time, while as one at-large district the time to rank nominations for the 13 seats on one ballot, much more efficient and not a one-party system.

    California LP has just adopted IRV in single winner districts for electing their execs, and AppV in single-winner districts for at-large alternates, at upcoming April convention.

    The execs are pleased that they may have cemented themselves in with their one-party system but how long before members can break out back to the two-party system of plurality elections in single-winner districts?

    If they go back to plurality in single-winner districts they get a two-party system.

    Only pure proportional representation (PPR) will bring the three-party system.

    We can bring it for President, and the United Coalition USA has been bringing PPR correctly for more than twenty-three consecutive years, the first run for POTUS in 1996 (Google founded in 1997).

    But the party bosses don’t want anyone to know and there is also disconnect between Electors and candidates, this brings bias favoring the status quo Libertarian bosses that we must strategize around to bring the three-party system in 2020.
