Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania’s current treasurer is Republican Stacy Garrity, who unexpectedly unseated a Democratic incumbent four years ago despite having little funding.

If the party supports incumbents and fights any primary challenger it just means bad incumbents hold office until a Republican beats them due to low turnout.

If we have to vote D no matter what in the general, then noncompetitive primaries take away voters only say in who's elected.

And it sounds very simple but I'll repeat it again:

When Dem voters feel like they have no say, they don't vote. That reduces turnout. And low turnout is the only way republicans get elected to office.

This is great for Pennsylvania, but just in case anyone gets the wrong idea about the voters becoming more progressive, her opponent was named Bizzaro. I guarantee there are more voters in PA that didn't think he was a serious candidate because of his name than there are voters who looked at pamphlet that says who the party was supporting.
