California State Senator Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) will not attempt to advance SCA 12 and SB 712 this year. This is the proposed constitutional amendment and bill to make it more difficult for write-in candidates in a partisan primary to advance to the general election. Current law says whoever comes in second in the June primary for Congress and state office advances to the November ballot. The bill would have said if the person who comes in second is a write-in in the June primary, he or she can’t appear on the November ballot unless the candidate polled a very large number of write-in votes.
Are the gerrymander MONSTERS in the New Age CA gerrymander legislature now even more powermad with the top 2 primary than in the now ancient days of robot party hack plurality primaries ???
P.R. and nonpartisan App.V
NO primaries.
Equal nominating petitions for names directly on the general election ballots.
