Primary revelation from the Primary Election

Primary elections are party business and don't concern me personally.  But GOP members pointing fingers at Democratic officials for a poorly run primary is laughable.  This would be like Pfizer Pharmaceuticals complaining that Eli Lilly did a poor job conducting Pfizer's annual board meeting.  Legally, the parties are allowed to pick candidates by any method they deem suitable.  For example...

The candidates could draw straws and it would be legally binding.  Or, might I suggest dueling pistols at 20 paces.  This would add some excitement to the primary and show the depth of a candidate's resolve.

Seriously, some critics would say the primary is a trial run for the upcoming election.  Fine, then Indiana just spent millions of dollars to verify that it's election process remains less than adequate.  Does this surprise anyone? 

My primary revelation was that 900 inspectors were MIA.  Despite big party rhetoric, I chalk it up to good old fashion apathy.  As many as 350 inspectors never even collected the materials to take to their precincts.  33 precincts never even found or assigned inspectors.

Plain & Simple: Even the "party faithful" are tired of the same old song and dance.  More than 3200 voters never got to cast their vote, and nothing will be done.  The only people satisfied with the current election process are those who currently hold elected positions.
