In Kentucky you're not allowed to register as anything other than a Republican or a Democrat, unless you want to be disqualified from voting in the primary. No parties other than Democrat and Republican are legal in Kentucky.

It's a bit like how on the news they're always talking about some foreign country legalizing opposition parties.

Independent and third party candidates can appear on the ballot, but it's extremely difficult to qualify, and they're not allowed to have a primary.

that is undemodratic

The funniest thing almost happened in 1999. The Reform candidate for governor almost came in second place, ahead of the Republican. If that had happened, then the Republicans would have lost their party status in Kentucky, and the two major parties would have been Democrat and Reform.

that is an absurd! next thing is one party only!!!

The Democrats have gone so far to the right on economics that it's almost a one-party system anyway.

yeah' well I mean the very option to choose from a varity. I am really shocked - does other states has that kind of rule?

[dunn]

I live in a one-party state. Stop complaining right now.

I'm sure some other states have the same rule.

I know in Florida it's pretty hard for even the Democrats to get on the ballot these days. In recent years there's been a ton of U.S. House "elections" that didn't even have a Democratic candidate.

amazing

Bandit why don't you register at the fantasy elections (you can go dem, rep, progressive, independent; hell even Jesus party)
