Open and closed and.. open again?

That didn't last long.

BATON ROUGE -- The House committee that has jurisdiction over election laws gave unanimous support today to a bill to return congressional elections to the "open primary" system, but not for this fall's races.

The Committee on House and Governmental Affairs approved House Bill 292 by Rep. Hunter Greene, R-Baton Rouge, sending it to the House floor for more debate.

I've always thought that so-called open primary elections are one of those rare things Louisiana actually gets exactly right in politics. Wouldn't mind seeing this pass.
