Video: How independents can save American Democracy

Open Primaries is building a coalition of diverse Americans to enact open primaries in all 50 states.

Why do we need open primaries? Millions of independent voters - the fastest growing segment of the electorate - are excluded from voting in closed partisan primaries. Voters want to be able to choose from among all the candidates. Closed partisan primaries don't allow that.
