Was his departure from the GOP a sign of turmoil in the party, or are there other factors at play?

In the interests of democracy, the organization Independent Voting ought to let every interested participant vote on who the officers of Independent Voting should be. I asked Nancy Hanks if I could vote in any election to determine who runs Independent Voting. She told me that Independent Voting doesn't have elections to choose its leaders. I guess it's a top-down autocratic organization. This comment is from Richard Winger. I only choose the "anonymous" button because this system won't let me post otherwise.
