(Aktualisiert am 02.03.14 mit Leserbriefen in der Sonntagsausgabe des Boston Globe.)<\/p>

Every two years in Massachusetts, the state's politicos and journalists enter a familiar debate: Is the 15% rule at party conventions for securing a position on the party's primary ballot democratic or anti-democratic?<\/p>

Any statewide candidate who wants to be listed on the Democratic ballot first must win support from 15 percent of some 5,000 delegates who are expected to gather at the state convention in June. Delegates are elected at caucuses open to members of the party and held in each of the state's towns and city wards.<\/p>

Opponents say the system gives \"too much power in the hands of activists and takes power away from the people, who never get a chance to vote for candidates deemed unacceptable by Democratic activists.\" More from Boston Globe columnists Joan Vennochi<\/a><\/strong> Und Schotte Lehigh<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>

Supporters say it allows parties to maintain \"their identity as organizations with different views on the role of government and public policy\" and \"encourage engagement at the local level in our cities and towns.\" Peter Ubertaccio, Vorsitzender der Abteilung f\u00fcr Politikwissenschaft am Stonehill College, erl\u00e4utert weiter<\/strong>.<\/a> Und der Politikwissenschaftler Maurice Cummingham von der University of Massachusetts in Boston behauptet, Die Organisation von Kongressen hilft, die Macht des Volkes angesichts des gro\u00dfen Geldes in der Politik zu st\u00e4rken<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>

Am Sonntag, den 2. M\u00e4rz, ver\u00f6ffentlichte der Boston Globe eine Reihe von Leserbriefen f\u00fcr und gegen die 15%-Regel.<\/p>
