VOTE Ray Ray Mitrano for Unaffiliated NY Primary Voter: Tues. 6/28 Fake News will be covering this sidewalk election via live stream. Watch live or later! Tues. June 28th 12PM Monroe County Clerk's Office 39 West Main St. Rochester, NY 14614 The second of three 2016 New York primary elections is coming up this Tues. 6/28 • (4/19 Presidential 6/28 Congressional 9/13 State/County) However, 30% of NY registered voters will once again be unable to participate in cultivating potential candidates for the fall election. Many states are different. They have open primariesto voters regardless of affiliation. Some even utilizeranked choice voting and the top-two candidates, regardless of political party, go onto a fall election (Potentially a Democrat and a Democrat, or a Republican and a Republican, or maybe an Unaffiliated and a Democrat?) This method allows voters to cast robust, dynamic ballots that are not susceptible to voter sabotage (the main critique for opening party primaries.) Being tax-payer funded, shouldn't these very important elections be open to all voters? This year, 88% of congress is up for re-election. Many districts in New York are amidst with vigorous campaigning for seats in the House of Representatives. However, Monroe County will not be holding any elections on Tuesday, since no potential candidates were able to successfully access the closed Democrat party ballot of the incumbent. None for the Democrat party Senate position either. No Republicans are contesting each other. Other party candidates seek those offices for the Nov. 8th General Election. Shouldn't we be getting to know as many options as possible beforehand? Growing the candidates and ideas we want, for a diverse, citizen tuned debate in the fall? Join us tomorrow via live stream or watch later! Free and open to the public. All welcome. #fakeelection2016 #openprimaries @fairvotereform #whytuesday @democracyspring (at Rochester, New York)
