Are voters being represented as effectively as we think? In this episode Vaughn Cook hosts a round table discussion with People4Utah Executive Director, Barbara Stallone. Explore with us how closed primary elections affect voters now - including taxing voters for events they aren’t able to participate in and limiting voter input by as much as 81%. Barbara explains how open primaries could be the solution to reconnecting with the heart of our electoral system, to improve the quality of life for Utahns.
