Regarding “Election trends don't mean system is flawed” (Our Views, Sept. 7): When I first moved to Oklahoma from another state in 1966, the Custer County Election Board was perplexed by my Republican registration. The attitude was this: “But you won't have anyone to vote for if you're a Republican!” I wonder why the Democrats didn't start a movement way back then to allow all registered voters to participate in primaries when there's no general election for a specific race!
