LA-06: Jackon Flips on Closed Party Primaries

At a forum held yesterday at the Baton Rouge Press Club, No Party candidate Michael Jackson stated:

"I wish we still had the open/jungle primary system."

Perhaps Mr. Jackson ought to take a look at his own voting record on the issue, as back in 2006, the State Legislature voted on SB 18, which was introduced by then-State Senator Cleo Fields. The purpose of SB 18 was to end the open/jungle primary system for federal elections, and replace them with a closed party primary system. Pray tell, how did Mr. Jackson vote? Take a look at the highlighted name in the image on the left!

Yep, that's right! It's Mr. Jackson himself, and he has now flipped on that vote. What else has he flipped on?
