Tony Quinn, a California Republican with more than thirty years experience in government and in the political consulting business, has this column in Fox & Hounds. The column expresses fear that the November 2018 California gubernatorial election will only have two Democrats on the ballot. He writes that if that happens, Republican voters will not turn out to vote, and any statewide ballot measures will be decided mostly by Democratic voters. For the last few years, California law has dictated that all statewide initiatives appear only on general election ballots, not primary ballots.

Quinn was a fervent backer of the top-two system when it passed in June 2010.
