Closed Primaries are bad for Democracy
Pennsylvania has a closed primary system, meaning that only voters registered with a given party can vote in that party’s primary election. Voters who are unaffiliated are prohibited from voting in a primary election.
By embracing over 1.2 million disenfranchised voters in Pennsylvania, we are welcoming fresh ideas and new perspectives to the voters in Pennsylvania.
Robin Skibber will support legislation that will give independents the right to vote in every election.
