This. Closed primaries aren’t the Louisiana I know. The way we do it currently we know a candidate will have 50% support at some point
Whether you are pro closed or pro open the system should always produce a winner with 50% plus one votes.
For that reason I’d oppose Landry’s bill.

A closed primary system does not do that.
Nothing prevents third party candidates or parties from entering the general election.
Only our current system actually ensures that the winner of the election actually gets 50+1…..unless this proposed closed primary bill retains the top two runoff structure (which would be three elections for each office)
