| 1. |
Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has declared that blanket-primary elections like Washington's violate political parties' constitutional rights, what form of new primary-election system would you propose adopting? |
|
| |
I believe parties should select their nominees however they wish. But they shouldn't do that AND receive taxpayer funds. The solution is to eliminate taxpayer-funded primaries for partisan elections. This will guarantee every party the freedom to select nominees without interference by state bureaucrats. This is just one of the innovative ways the Libertarian Party can improve Washington government, save you money and increase your freedom. |

| 2. |
Washington voters have been voting by mail in increasing numbers in recent elections. What do you think of this trend? What changes would you make? |
|
| |
I think that every form of voting should be encouraged so long as the integrity of the process can be assured. |
| |
| 3. |
What would you do to increase voter registration and voter participation? |
|
| |
Allow voters the choice of in-person, mail or Internet voting. |
