Williston Graphic Opinion on New Primary Law
The Williston Graphic criticizes a North Dakota primary election law pushed by Alex McKensie and the Republican machine. It argues the law narrows candidate options to two or three and forces voters to back one, potentially sidelining many aspirants and limiting freedom of choice. The piece warns the law may force weaker candidates to bow out and invites reader skepticism.
