Greg Kraut Calls For Open Primaries in Connecticut - Urges Republican and Democrat Leaders to Allow Unaffiliated to Vote in Primary
WESTPORT, Conn., Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Westport RTM Member Greg Kraut today stated, "I urge all Democrat and Republican Leaders in Connecticut to allow unaffiliated voters to back their candidates. Never has there been such a need to have Open Primaries in Connecticut. Its time to allow the majority, which are the unaffiliated voters, to have a real voice for their candidates."
In Connecticut, 42% of voters are unaffiliated and it is the largest voting bloc. To vote in a primary, you must register with a party.
"As somebody that is a moderate in a time of social media intolerance and hateful Washington rhetoric, I feel voting must be able to reflect our majority of citizens. Instead of being required to join an organization where people are unsure of the political beliefs of the candidates, we need to be able to exercise our right to vote in an open primary," Kraut stated.
"Many voters have expressed to me their dissatisfaction with both major parties and their candidates, either some were too right, or some were too left, and it would be beneficial to finally elect candidates that speak for the real majority," Kraut said.
