This seems to be just common sense

[Ralph Yozzo]

New York State needs open primaries. 

If independents could vote in either primary than imagine how many people would be independent already it's a million. 

See recent news article

I totally agree with you. In fact many of us are registered as democrats just because we need the chance to vote in the local votes.  Anything we can do to push this forward into law?

Hi Yoel and everyone,

We need to get more people on this mailing list to discuss these issues. 

This common Sense NYC pac has millions of dollars.  But it needs the people's vote. 

If you look here you can see the consolidation of election referendum. 

This would have forced all these so-called representatives to stop playing musical chairs and resign their current office in order to run for another office. 

If you look carefully at the map it looks like it's just a random vote. 

I think maybe people didn't even understand what the referendum question was about. 

Here's a question why would Park Slope vote for consolidation of elections. 

While Staten Island and South Brooklyn put it in the majority against it. 

But remember the map only shows the color coding when the amount is in the majority for that election District but all of the election districts are very close. 

I think the answer to the question is that most people did not understand what the referendum question meant. 

And therefore we get a random result.

On second thought if you look at all the votes on these referendum Staten Island and South Brooklyn simply voted no on everything.  

That might mean that some people are not even reading the questions.
