I don't understand the comment "what would be the point of voting in a primary where there is no race?".
I voted in the primary, even thou there was no contest, in any of the races on my side of the ballot. Does this poster contend that in those areas, where there is no primary contest, we should simply cancel the primary election? There is all kinds of ranting on this board, and other similar ones, about "insiders" and "party hacks" controlling the electoral process. Primary elections are one way that parties and "insiders" do not control the process. They help keep an honest balance to elections. Yet, here comes someone suggesting that we do away with primaries. I voted in the primary, because it was there, it was my civic duty, and because I never want to be accused of always voting for one party, hee, hee, hee.
