Independent Voting has published a 39 page interim report outlining the progress of the EYES on 2020 campaign, which is pressing for the inclusion of independents in the presidential primaries across the country. The report includes state by state updates, a review of the significant inroads made, sample press coverage and organizing materials.
“We launched EYES on 2020 in January of this year to address a hidden form of voter suppression in our national election process — the exclusion of close to 26 million independents from the presidential primaries. We wanted to test the willingness of the parties to adapt themselves to a new and permanent set of circumstances in our democracy — namely that upwards of 44% of Americans have become independents. They have no intention of giving up their independents to join a political party.”
Jackie Salit, President
