1. Texas should eliminate partisan primaries, and instead use the system used for special elections, and elected John Tower to the US Senate in 1961, and the first independent to the Texas House in 80 years.

2. Currently – do ONLY the top 2 primary areas have EQUAL ballot access tests for partisan offices ???

   ALL others – separate and UN-equal ballot access tests ???
   —-
   NO primaries.

   Ballot access via EQUAL nominating petitions or filing fees.

   PR and AppV

3. Wisconsin has exactly the same number of signatures for each candidate, whether he or she is running in a partisan primary, or only in the general election.

   New Jersey requires slightly more signatures for a primary candidate than for a candidate running only in the general election.

   Florida has zero mandatory petitions for every candidate, no matter whether they are running in a primary or just the general election (except that independent presidential candidates are treated far worse).

4. New Jersey requires that primary candidates be signed by party registrants. The state maintains records of voters beliefs and doesn’t require a majority for election.

   Wisconsin requires partisan candidates to compete in a primary, in which there may be cross-over voting.

5. For non-super hair-splitting experts —

   ALL others – separate and UN-equal ballot access tests – for PARTISAN offices —

   for the same office in the same election area to get on the GENERAL Election ballots ???

   Having caucuses, conventions OR primaries is UNEQUAL – even with a method to separately get on GENERAL election ballots.
