Wow, this brief is first rate. If I were still in grade school I’d use it speech class. This stuff is not a glancing blow, it’s a direct shot. Excerpt:
As implemented by the State of Washington the “top two” system draws together the worst elements of the electoral experiments from the past century: denial of ballot access, forced association and total exclusion of political parties from the electoral process.
It probably is not posible for the SCOTUS to care less, but it’s surely important this writ be wrote.
EVIL Gerrymanders control.
Top 2 is EVIL worthless.

Who is responsible for Footnote 5?
Only power hungry “top one” IRV-likers/three party system advocates will spend time fighting top two.
Tired of chasing your tail? Try top 1000*, where 1000 names are elected in consecutive order with 1/1001ths (.999%) plus one vote each, for a total guaranteed satisfaction level of 99.9% plus 1000 votes.
