Slog - Comments on Pollet Official Choice of the 46th http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/pollet_official_choice_of_the_46th After a nominating convention that was thrown into chaos when a missing ballot was discovered in the house of a supporter of 46th Democratic District legislative candidate Scott White, who had narrowly lost the nomination vote to Gerry Pollet, White supporters have reached a tentative agreement not to challenge Pollet's nomination. The decision, made at a special meeting of the 46th District's executive board this past Monday, means that Pollet will be the district's official nominee.

I-872 literally redefined the purpose of a Primary, from a system where the parties choose their nominees for the general election to a simply narrowing of the candidate choices. Even under the Blanket Primary we were assured of having a Democrat, Republican, Green, Libertarian, etc. on the ballot in November so we could make a real choice.

This initiative destroyed our choices.

You also have a choice in the general - pick the candidate you hate the least. Why shouldn't the two most popular candidates in the district face off in the general election?
