What is a Primary

A primary election is an election that narrows the field of candidates before an election for office. Primary elections are one means by which a political party or a political alliance nominates candidates for an upcoming general election or by-election.

Primaries are common in the United States, where their origins are traced to the progressive movement to take the power of candidate nomination from party leaders to the people.

Other methods of selecting candidates include caucuses, conventions, and nomination meetings. Historically, Canadian political parties chose their candidates through nominating conventions held by constituency riding associations. Canadian party leaders are elected at leadership conventions, although some parties have abandoned this practice in favor of one member, one vote systems.

[Stockholm]

I recently received campaign literature on Mara McCabe who is running for Buffalo City Court judge. In her literature she mentions her "ethics". I wish that in her literature she had also mentioned her "prosecutorial miscoduct" charge concerning a
conviction she obtained. This was the link, http://www.prosecutorialaccountabili...burglary-case/

Why is it worth mentioning? This morning I listened to another radio new story about two brothers freed after thirty years for a rape they did not commit, in Buffalo we had the Anthony Capozzi wrongful prosecution and conviction and the DA office
at the time fought against his release and later there was the conviction of Lynn Dejac and her reversal. Everyone knows that the Erie County DA's office is political but I would hope that it is interested in justice.
