Secure Our Primaries Elections - Close the Loophole

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

🚨 Momentum is building in Indiana 🚨

In less than TWO WEEKS since launch, the Closed Primary movement has already surpassed 1,000+ signatures.

Hoosiers are sending a message loud and clear:

Your party should charter its course.

Closed primaries protect voter intent, strengthen party integrity, and ensure nominees actually represent the voters.

This movement is just getting started.

We need to close the primaries — end the crossover loophole and protect the voice of voters.

We fully support Max Engling for Secretary of State!

[Andrew Ireland @AndrewIrelandIN]

🚨 Huge. Max Engling says closing Indiana’s primaries is one of his top priorities as Secretary of State.

One of many reasons I’m supporting him. We need a LEADER in that office who can work with our state lawmakers to get this done.

Republican primaries are for Republicans

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@indybeer_bourbs As long as you’re a 5 year old that knows dates, register for the party you’d like to vote with.

@JWReamer No James, just not someone who votes for one party 6 times in a row then LARPs as someone who doesn’t.

Do better, be better.

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@JWReamer You being embarrassed by your vote / party alignment =/= restricting your rights.

Closing the primaries is necessary.

You may feel too embarrassed or perhaps like the fence-sitter LARP, but that’s no reason to promote + enable crossover voting.

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@JWReamer It’s entirely accurate. If your party doesn’t run worthy candidates, get involved and let them know (or be that worthy candidate).

Crossover voting stifles the voice of the party it nominates.

Close the primaries.

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@JWReamer @PeonyPrincess27 Stand by the party you consistently vote with. It’s easier than playing fence-sitter.

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@JWReamer Exactly 0 voters will be restricted. But you already knew that…

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@PeonyPrincess27 So it doesn’t exist again?

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@wolfofwarsh @stopher9779 However you have to rationalize not LARPing as a fence sitter.

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@PeonyPrincess27 I think we’re at the 11th or 12th time you’ve tried to do mental gymnastics and correlate closing the primaries with something else.

You’re better than this..

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@PeonyPrincess27 You’re projecting again..

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@wolfofwarsh @stopher9779 Remember to vote for your party’s candidate that aligns with your stance on the size of government.

Not sure which Democrat(s) that’d be.

But do so with unabashed enthusiasm, don’t play fence sitter.

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@HonestColtsFan @stopher9779 It’s okay to be too embarrassed to identify with the party you vote for.

It’s not okay to argue against something when the facts are contrary to your bias. It just further highlights the need for said thing.

Do better, be better.

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@PeonyPrincess27 Did you not see the literal screenshot of your reply saying (and I quote) “Why ban something but didn’t even exist here?”

Assuming you meant that* rather than but* — however it’s hard to tell.

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@PeonyPrincess27 We need to close the primaries.

Voter suppression is a strawman argument in regards to closed primaries.

Closed Primary =/= Closed Primary (… and also redistricting or any other number of other issues)

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@HonestColtsFan @stopher9779 Ultimately, legislature will be responsible for those aspects.

As mentioned previously, ‘Independents’ vote with the same party consistently. This would change nothing.

Closed or open primaries have negligible impact on turnout. Per Yale, Clark University and others.

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@wolfofwarsh @stopher9779 It simply makes you someone who shouldn’t be voting in a Republican primary 🤝

You’re making a very strong case for closing the primaries.

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@wolfofwarsh @stopher9779 One does not need to know your voting record to know you’re one of the following:

- A Republican
- A Democrat
- An ‘Independent’ (that’s votes consistently with the same party)

You’re negating the need to even look 👎

[Closed Primary @closedprimaries]

@PeonyPrincess27 You just said crossover wasn’t happening. But your reasoning for not closing the primaries is because Democrats don’t run candidates in some areas?

… which would mean the democrats in said areas are voting for…. Republicans?
