Only 1 in 6 primary races offer voters choice – Illinois Policy

Illinois has 181 open state and federal seats this year, the vast majority of those in the state General Assembly. Of the 362 possible primaries, only 61 are contested, split evenly between Democrats and Republicans.

Yep – there is no choice. The Republicans are useless and there are no noteworthy Libertarians. I regularly voted Republican in the primaries, but I’ve given up on that. For several years I even voted Democrat in the primaries and voted against the weakest candidate, hoping they would win and a mediocre Republican may beat them in the general election. That never worked either (which I figured it wouldn’t). So this time I decided from now on I’m voting Libertarian since my vote doesn’t mean crap anyway!

The RNC needs to invest in IL, not write IL off. The time is right to take IL back from Democratic socialists and rampant fraud.
