A Call for a Bristol Caucus Law to Clean Up Elections
The editorial urges Bristol to enact a caucus law after a disputed Republican caucus. It notes repeated abuses, cites the Attorney General’s opinion that the capture caucus was illegal, and argues for clear rules to prevent one party from monopolizing candidate selection. It condemns voter manipulation and stresses that voters should choose between genuine sets of candidates rather than be bound by shady practices.
