Nonpartisan Vote

[mlmpetert]

First I have to say that I find the title of this article offensive. But its a pretty good article, and its truly a shame that this town was forced to put party affiliation with each candidate’s name. I have never voted primarily because I find the 2 party system disappointing, and I speculate that many of the 40%+ that also abstain from voting have a similar primary reason. I also thought that it would be great to remove party affiliation from voter’s ballots, as this would cause people to vote for a person’s objectives (or not at all), and not simply because someone is a Republican or Democrat, or better yet Not a Republican or Not a Democrat.

Now that Obama’s Justice Department has said that this violates individuals civil rights do you think it becomes increasing difficult for additional political parties to become bona fide?
