  1. Another Case going no where because it is not brought in
    Sacramento, CA. Wrong Venue!

    We need effective legal cases against the Top Two, not this.

    Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg, Vice Chairman,
    American Independent Party of California.

    P.S., I think what the Green Party need to be duing in
    increasing its registration and not go downward like the P&F.

    Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg, Vice Chairman,
    American Independent Party of California

  2. A bogus reform would be to implement a mix of Approval Voting with the 2 Round System.

    First round: All candidates are on the ballot. Voters may vote for as many candidates as they like.

    Final round: The top n (always square root of the total number of candidates) make the runoff. Voters may vote for as many candidates as they like.
