Gerrymandering is everywhere in the news. But the real “fight for democracy” goes deeper. In @IVN, Open Primaries President John Opdycke & SVP Jeremy Gruber explain why it’s about self-government — not partisan maps. 🔗 https://t.co/bOLASW8uvo

"In a statement, Golden said he represents a district that is 'fiercely independent.'" It's true. And Marine Corps vet @RepGolden sounds more and more like an independent every day. This would be the perfect time for you to drop the D, declare your independence, run as an

My friend and fellow Veteran, @toddachilles is running for US Senate in Idaho as an Independent! I'm proud of you Todd, for taking this bold step -- Our country desperately needs more high integrity / low drama and Independent-minded leaders, like you. Onward!
I’m Todd Achilles, your Independent candidate for U.S. Senate here in Idaho. After stepping away from my role as your Democratic legislator for District 16, I’m done with the two-party system—it’s broken.

The only people who oppose solving the primary problem are partisan extremists and party insiders. @OperationVAV is honored to be fighting for ALL Voters (including Independent Veterans) to have full & fair voting rights!
Did you know that in 16 states, 17 million voters are prohibited from voting in taxpayer-funded primary elections? This is the #PrimaryProblem — and @uniteamerica is working to solve it. Because every eligible voter should be able to vote for any candidate, regardless of party,

ALL lawfully registered voters should be allowed to vote in ALL elections. After all, their taxes pay for them. 55% of post-9/11 Veterans are Independent. STOP forcing us to join PRIVATE political parties in order to vote. @OperationVAV #GetYourKicksWith836 #LetAllVotersVote
Help kick closed primaries to the curb when you like, comment, then quote tweet about why you support open primaries and SQ 836. 🧵

Almost 1.4 MIL Independent (unaffiliated) Voters in PA can't vote today in their own PUBLIC, taxpayer-funded elections for the "crime" of refusing to join a private political party. In the words of @RockyBleier , this is "unamerican." Join us today, to #LetAllVotersVote!
It's Primary Day in Pennsylvania, and almost 1.4 million independent/unaffiliated voters can't vote. Our volunteers are out in the streets making it known! Help us spread the word and make all voices heard: https://t.co/s4wmyJwSJg

100% @Sen_JoeManchin ... The only thing that BOTH major political parties care about = Power & Control. That's why the @WVGOP is attempting to close primaries and lock out thousands of @IndyVetsAmerica like me. @OperationVAV and @PaulRieckhoff is on it!
West Virginia elections are heading in the wrong direction. Lawmakers just banned ranked choice voting—even though we’ve never used it. At the same time, they’re trying to shut out over 300,000 independent voters from participating in primary elections. That’s nearly 30% of West
