Ballotpedia Publishes Study of Congressional Primaries; Finds Few Incumbents Lost a Primary Race in 2012

Ballotpedia has just published a study of the 2012 congressional primaries. Only five members of the U.S. House of Representatives lost a primary to a non-incumbent in 2012. Conventional wisdom, which is wrong, is that more members of Congress fear losing a primary than they fear losing a general election.

  1. The New Age gerrymander MONSTERS are quite possibly even more entrenched than the old time divine right of kings MONSTERS in the Dark Age.

    About 95 percent plus of them are in 1 party safe seat gerrymander districts.

    1/2 votes x 1/2 gerrymander areas = 1/4 control indirectly.

    Much worse with primary math.

    Courts and media are totally brain dead — about the OLIGARCHY math.

    —-
    Abolish primaries.

    P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
