In a race in which candidates from all parties run in the same primary, Democrats have raised concerns the crowded field could prevent them from appearing on the November ballot.
Open primaries work better in small local elections. My county made positions non-partisan so there is an open primary, and the top two candidates go to a runoff. It was able to break the Republicans horrific stranglehold on local politics and let cooler heads shine through, because with party affiliations involved whoever had the ® always wins by default.
Statewide with political affiliations still involved though, seems like a clusterfuck.
