Florida Constitutional Revision Commission Won’t Include Top-Two in its Final Proposals

On February 1, the Florida Constitutional Revision Commission’s General Provisions Committee defeated top-two by a vote of 7-0. The Florida Commission has the power to put ideas for changing the state constitution on the November 2018 ballot. The only election idea it will be putting on the ballot is a tweak to the law that lets all voters vote in a primary, for a particular office, if only members of a single party (and no independents) file. The tweak is to deem all write-in candidates in the general election (for that particular office) to be members of that same party, whether they really are or not.

Florida Constitutional Revision Commission Won’t Include Top-Two in its Final Proposals — 5 Comments

  1. At least 1 regime has some brain cells regarding top 2 primaries.


    NO primaries.
    PR and AppV

  2. Devious. Its like cattle rustling. Unbranded candidates get branded by the state so they are easier to cull before the General Election. Contemptible, but habitual for criminal conspirators.

  3. Good news. All the ballot access reform from the Constitution Revision Commission 20 years ago won’t be wasted instituting an effective ban on minor parties in the general election (top-two primaries).
