I’d like to participate in both the Democratic and Republican caucuses in Kansas. Since the Democratic one is tomorrow and the Republican one is on Saturday, I can physically do it, but is it ethical?
I am a registered Republican, but Democratic caucus information states that you can change your registration on-site. I’m assuming the same is true for Republicans.
Ethical?!? Hey, this is politics we’re talking about here. Ethical has nothing to do with it.
I think it depends what you want to do. If in democratic primary you will vote for a weaker candidate to help you republican canditate win, that’s probably not very ethical. if you vote in democratic primary as if you are a real democrat, that maybe ok, but why would you do it.
Well, seeing as I haven’t made up my mind who I’m voting for yet (I have a favorite on both sides of the aisle), I would be trying to get both of those candidates to be their party’s nominee.
I had the same thought when I heard that the caucuses would be held on different days. It certainly leaves the door open for possible voter fraud if the state decided to view it as such.
I understand the state was trying to save money by switching to the caucus instead of the Primary, but it certainly doesn’t leave the option for everyone to cast their vote. There are many situations where those that wanted to vote did not have the chance to attend. Even those that did show up were faced with large crowds and the facilities too small to handle everyone.
At least the results were decidedly in favor of one candidate. It would have been worse, in my opinion, if it were evenly split. We would have been left to wonder if it was the true choice of the entire state or just the small percentage that voted.
