<[link removed]>I had to pinch myself. 

On Saturday, my colleague Jeremy Gruber was interviewed for 15 minutes on CNN <[link removed]> about an emerging legal challenge to closed primaries in Pennsylvania. He crushed it. And his appearance was just weeks after The NY Times <[link removed]>, Washington Post <[link removed]> and NBC <[link removed]> produced in-depth pieces about the rise of independent voters and the controversy surrounding open primaries. The Daily News <[link removed]>. The Hill <[link removed]>. The Baltimore Sun <[link removed]>. The Philadelphia Inquirer <[link removed]>. The Oklahoman <[link removed]>. AP <[link removed]>. Fox News <[link removed]>. U.S. News & World Report <[link removed]>. Reno-Gazette <[link removed]>. Orlando Sentinel <[link removed]>. Where do I stop?

I had to pinch myself because over the last couple months this has become normal!  There is a national conversation taking place about our work to let All Voters Vote. 

That doesn’t mean we are in control. Far from it. As I point out in an op ed today for the Daily News <[link removed]>, the proponents of status quo politics (NYC progressives and Texas conservatives - what a dream team!!!) still run the show. 

But we are no longer being ignored. It’s a breakthrough. And any good military historian will tell you, when you make a breakthrough…you push harder. 

So we push harder. 

But not before we pause and thank you for all you’ve done to generate this conversation. From Reno to Rochester YOU have forced this issue into the mainstream. Brilliant. 

Most sincerely, 

John Opdycke

President, Open Primaries
