With 37% of the Arizona vote counted, Proposition 121 is being defeated by 33.6% to 66.4%. This is the measure to convert Arizona elections to the top-two system. The outcome here is very similar to the 2008 Oregon results, when top-two was defeated 34%-66%, even though almost all daily newspapers in Oregon had endorsed it. The big newspapers in Arizona had also endorsed it. Here is a brief news story about the Arizona outcome.
All right! This is GREAT news! Top Two primary needs to be stamped out everywhere it pops up.
Awesome!
Glad to see the American people are waking up to the fact that “top-two” is an evil, fascist-socialist take-over that imposes a Soviet styled electoral system on the US. It is designed to create a one-party state-controlled system and end free elections. That is the actual designed intent of its evil supporters, creators and sponsors.
“Top-two” must be eliminated everywhere it has already been foisted on the American people. It’s sponsors and supporters should be publically investigated.
publicly
Yes, so very awesome! How is it Arizonians can understand so well and by comparison CA, WA and LA not so much? Rejection and repeal of top two surges from here.
I was the Green Party nominee for Arizona State Representative-District 24. If the top-two open primary would have been in place for this election not only would I have not made it to the General Election, the Republcan Party nominee would not have made it either. Elections are suppose to be about choices, but a choice isn’t really a choice when the choices are exactly the same.
#6 In a Top 2 election for a 2-seat race, 4 candidates qualify for the general election. Based on the primary results, 3 Democrats and 1 Republican would have qualified.
But that may not be predictive. You likely would have run your campaign differently. Even if you had run as a write-in candidate in the primary, you would have been able to appeal to all voters.
