Recently, we have seen something extraordinary, in Mississippi. In the Republican Primaries, the Democratic crowd voted preventing an extreme ‘Tea Party’ candidate replace the moderate Republican Senator Thad Cochran. Mississippi is one of the States, when the voters are allowed to vote across the party line in the Primaries.
Republicans are furious, rising question “how any Republican could go that low, to bring the Black vote to the Republican Primaries?”
What? Such a question in 2014? Even in Mississippi (which has a history of racial discrimination creeping in the today’s reality) it is low.
But at this point, I am rising another question - why not allow cross-party voting in all States? It looks like a great tool in the fight for a more balanced, and just America. Extremes should be weeded out, from both sides of the isle. ALLOW THE GENERAL VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES !!!
