Enough write-in returns from the June 5 California primary have now been tallied to reveal that Laura Wells, a Green Party activist, came in second in the U.S. House race, 13th district, in Alameda County. See this story. The only name on the June 5 ballot in this district was Democratic incumbent Barbara Lee, so it was inevitable that whoever got the most write-in votes in the race would place second and appear on the November ballot.
In 2014 and 2016, a Republican filed against Congresswoman Lee, so it wasn’t possible for a minor party member to come in second.
There will be three Greens on the November ballot for U.S. House in California this year. All placed second because, in each case, only one Democrat, and no Republican, filed to be on the ballot. This will be the first time any Greens have been on the November ballot for a California U.S. House race since the top-two system started. There were no minor party candidates in November 2016 or November 2012 for U.S. House in California. In 2014 there was one Peace & Freedom Party member.
Left or more left in some rigged left gerrymander districts.

PR and AppV
The United Coalition’s first candidates vied for Santa Cruz City election in 1992 as a team of candidates; James Ogle [Environmentalist], Kevin Clark [Green], Abdul Hassan [Peace and Freedom] and Linda Lemaster [Democratic].
The California Green Party doesn’t want anyone to know and so they promoted NOTA in 1994 against the United Coalition who was correctly bringing pure proportional representation (PPR) to every voter’s pamphlet with the campaign of James Ogle for CA Governor, who switched from Environmentalist to Green Party, which unified more voters around the world in Usenet campaigns.
That campaign continued in 1996 when Ralph Nader agreed to be on our team and ran for POTUS himself but the Green Party bosses made sure that his campaign failed.
Google derived their name from our team in October of 1997 but their founder Sergie Brin doesn’t want you to know:

Despite the success of Google, the California Green Party and the national Libertarian Party have viciously opposed the United Coalition and despite the party bosses of the national Libertarian Party’s (LP) censorship of the 2012 POTUS campaigns by de-linking their site from the national LP site, James Ogle won the only primary (MO) that fell before the LP’s national convention by 52.7%.

The Green Party’s Laura Wells was one of those who brought the ill advised Rubin v. Padilla lawsuit to overturn California’s Top Two ballot restrictions in state court in Alameda County rather than where it belonged – in federal district court. This unfortunate choice of legal venue brought about a decision upholding Proposition 10’s restrictions on who could be in the runoff elections. Wells must accept much of the blame for this legal strategy which effectively bars third party and Independents from the general elections for far into future election cycles .
