And their vote, if they cast it, really doesn't matter.

So that's tens of millions of people whose vote effectively does not matter.

It's important people vote, but participation without competition does not result in representation.

If we want your vote to matter, you have to have a choice that is real.

And so the idea that in red districts, you get to choose what kind of Republican you want or in blue districts, what kind of Democrat you want in the general election is much better than showing up to an election that's already been decided.

Yeah.

In addition, though, to the attacks on redistricting, what we're also seeing in nine states right now is attempts by legislatures to close the primaries and actually start to register voters by party in order to do so.

That is extremely unpopular.

When the largest and fastest growing part of the electorate are those that don't belong to either party, how can you expect to win those voters over if you're kicking them out of the process in which you're choosing your candidates?

And so it really is,
