Harford County Teachers Union Tells Democrats to Register Republican — To Pick the County's Next Executive

By Michael Phillips | MDBayNews A teachers union in Harford County is urging its members to abandon their Democratic Party registrations and temporarily enroll as Republicans — not out of any ideological conversion, but to manipulate the outcome of a Republican primary election that Democrats otherwise have no business deciding. The Harford County Education Association, which represents…

Friends, Voting in North Carolina has gotten a whole lot more difficult. Just ask Richard Burr, who couldn’t cast a traditional ballot in the Republican primary because he did not have the proper identification. But instead of defending voter inclusion, a federal court in North Carolina just upheld our state’s voter ID law, which is frequently labeled one of the most restrictive election laws in the nation. It just became absolutely critical that we hit every goal if we want to win in November. Voting rights in North Carolina have been attacked time and time again. Give $5 or $10 to help us reach $60,000 by Saturday. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Express Donate: $5 Express Donate: $10 Express Donate: $25 Or donate another amount. Republicans in North Carolina have been trying to roll back voting rights and enact oppressive restrictions for years. I saw it firsthand when I was in the General Assembly where I stood against their efforts to silence voters and passed a measure with bipartisan support that allowed same-day voter registration during early voting. But the GOP finally got its way. This voter ID law prohibits voters from using student IDs, government employee IDs, or public assistance IDs to vote. While Sen. Burr may have only misplaced his license, there are an estimated 225,000 North Carolinians who don’t have a valid driver’s license -- a disproportionate number of whom are minorities or economically disadvantaged. Help me stop this shameful trend of discrimination in North Carolina by giving what you can to help us reach $60,000. It’s time to include more people in our democracy, not slam the door shut on participation. Thank you, Deborah

Due to closed primaries, New York’s voter turnout Tuesday was astonishingly low. How low? Compare it to the rest of the country.

Due to the issues that we the people have been facing when attempting to vote, we should open up the remaining primaries so that people do not have their right to vote infringed upon.

There have been countless report of people's parties being switched without their knowledge and of people being removed from the system altogether. Opening up the remaining primaries would allow people to have their voice be heard and limit the issues they face at the polling locations Stand up and fight for your right to vote!

It’s up to you, NY

Election reform advocates bashed New York’s closed primary system for leaving millions of voters locked out of next Tuesday’s presidential primary. The state has a closed primary, only allowing people registered with a particular party to cast ballots in that party’s race. Voters can’t cross party lines — and independent unenrolled voters can’t vote in any primary.  —NY Daily News If you exercise…
