On the evening of July 12, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra spoke at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. He was asked what he thinks of the California top-two system. He said, “I am not a fan.” He then criticized it for locking minor parties out of the election itself. He also disparaged the idea that an election system should be designed to make an easier path for moderates to win. He said the election arena is for all points of view.
