To The GOP Elections Are Rigged Because They Don't Have All The Seats In Congress.

The GOP believes elections are rigged because they are NOT the only party. Because there are Democrats in office elections must be rigged. The real truth is that the GOP wants to make it where only GOPPERS are on the ballot.

That is why they want to change primaries to top two candidates with no party ID. They want open "nonpartisan" elections. That means you cannot ID as a party unless you are a Republican for all practical purpose.

They actually believe they should have all elected seats at every level of government.

I believe both Senate candidates appearing on the CA ballot this year are Democrats. Do you find that system problematic as well?

Not sure how I feel about this system, but I don't understand how there are inherent partisan advantages one way or another.

The GOP is pushing this idea. If they did not believe they would benefit from it greatly they would not be for it. They believe they can use money to drive out all other opposition.
