    Why would you not want the ability to vote in the primaries? Even if the Republican party doesn't need my vote, I use it against the Dems so I switch it to suit my needs when necessary.

    Because I don't subscribe to the bullshit duopoly and don't want to be associated with it.

    i'd like to see this as well. also an audit of the fed, if it even matters anymore, the dollar is irreparably ruined.

    3. Often times questions are worded in ways that people don*t get the meaning of the question and answer it differently than they would if they understood the question
    4. Maybe people like the governor having that kind of power. I just don*t know anymore.
    These points could be beneficial or harmful. I think that conservatives/Republicans probably have better primary turnout, so perhaps more likely that such a measure has a chance. OTOH, these questions are often constructed in a way that seems to influence people to vote a certain way.

    Your #3 point is absolutely valid. People will usually vote for a positive statement and against a negative one. Consider:

    Require a state of emergency declared by the governor to be approved by the GA within 21 days for its continuance. Sound positive. Vote yes.

    OR

    Prevent the governor's ability to declare a state of emergency without GA approval within 21 days. Sounds negative. Vote no.

    After the extreme abuse of power by an out of control governor this should be part of the PA Constitution so emergency powers cannot be abused for political and personal gain ever again.

    I*m glad the Republicans did this. It*ll also take the decision out of the hands of SCOPA as well, assuming it passes. It*s pretty pathetic though that it requires a constitutional amendment to prevent the governor and the highest court in the state from sticking it to the citizens.

    I got a personal call from my Rep yesterday part of the message was they were working on fixing it. I'm registered to vote as an independent, not 3rd party is voting on ballot questions permitted?
