I don't know if republicans feel that way or not. It's hard for them to go against the blue wall. Especially when you take into account the way the libtards have set up the election rules here.
The 'Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act' requires that all candidates for a voter-nominated office (state legislative offices, U.S. congressional offices, and state constitutional offices) be listed on the same ballot. No more party primaries. Only the two candidates receiving the most votes, regardless of party affiliation, move on to the general election.
In other words, when it gets around to the general election, often there are only democrats on the ballot.
If Dementia Joe truly wanted to do something to make elections more fair, then pass a law that outlaws that type of libtard meddling in the outcome of elections.
