The system allows unaffiliated voters to weigh in on party primaries, which could be a good thing for increasing participation in our voting system.

We should be able to vote for what we consider the best from each party.

Scott Taylor

Hopefully this will move candidates more toward the middle, eliminating some of the divisiveness we have. I'd prefer to vote for the best candidates, not party.

Richard Dillard

yes every voter should have the right to vote for whom ever they feel is the best and for what ever prop that they agree with no matter what party supports it.

Rachel Deanna

This allows everyone to vote for who they feel is the best candidate, despite their party affiliation.

I absolutely agree that we should have an open primary. It should not matter what party belong to. People vote across party lines all the time. Plus there would definetly be more voter turnout.
