DNC Obstructionism in the California Primary

California election law gives the two major parties the right to determine whether their state presidential primary is open or closed to independent voters.

The Republican party opted to close its primary. Only those registered Republican can vote.

The Democratic party opened its primary to independent voters.

The Democratic party had a choice and chose to allow independents to vote in the largest and most delegate-rich contest in the U.S.

Yup. Sounds like obstructionism and favoritism to me!

3. It doesn't need to be. This isn't a government election, it's a private organization's primary.
