  1. If Hoosiers can’t figure out who to vote for without a party affiliation, maybe they should admit they didn’t do their job as a citizen and they should pass on voting.

    We need less political affiliations in elections, not more. And open primaries. Let school boards be decided in November, not May.

  2. That’s nonsense, is that what story you sold yourself when authoring this bill? Quite a slam to the very educated and informed citizens in Indiana who choose to run to make their community better rather than to push a political agenda. Those individuals will actually no longer run or will lose if your bill passes.

  3. Voter turnout in Indiana is generally pathetic so that’s a red herring. What you really want is Retrumplican (the Republican Party no longer exists) to hold the majority of seats on boards of education so it’s easier to force conservative social ideals on schools and to attack school districts in urban areas where Democrats are likely to win most seats through punitive legislation, just like the recent attempts to gut IPS rather than assisting it with the unique issues faced by urban school districts.
