Ohio election law forces the Green Party to nominate by primary. Jim Condit, Jr., has again won an Ohio Green Party nomination for U.S. House, even though his views are not in alignment with the views of the Green Party. He is the nominee this year for U.S. House, 2nd district. He was also the Green Party nominee in the Ohio 8th district in a special election in June 2016.
He was the Constitution Party nominee in the Ohio 8th district in 2010 and 2014, but the Constitution Party hasn’t been on the Ohio ballot as a party since 2014, so now he runs in the Green Party primary. See this story.
NO PRIMARIES.

He sounds kind of like Cynthia McKinney.
Solution is simple. Go to a membership-based party. (As a Green, though not from Ohio, I am part of discussion on this issue.)
The real solution is to switch to Top 2. It is unlikely that someone would run as a Green if it was just as easy to get on the ballot as an Independent, etc.
JR, why stop at top two? The more per district, the more on the team, the better.
Why stay small when a bigger team can get more done?
At-large pure proportional representation (PPR) is the only target worthwhile for making improvements in voting systems.

Nobody in their right mind wants Top 2.
