On January 20, some independent California voters who want a presidential primary ballot that lists candidates from all ballot-qualified parties filed their opening brief in the State Court of Appeals. Boydsten v Padilla, E076797. This case had been filed in 2019 and has moved slowly. The Superior Court had dismissed the lawsuit on January 29, 2021.
The brief says that independent voters are being discriminated against because there is no California presidential primary ballot prepared for them. The brief says in several places that the number of independent voters is “ever-increasing”, but actually the percentage of independent voters in California has declined in recent years. In October 2018 they were 27.52% of the registered voters. In October 2020 they were 23.97%. The last Report of Registration shows they are at 22.90%.
It sounds like the plaintiffs are arguing for a NPP primary ballot that lists all Presidential candidates,irrespective of party. Do I understand that correctly? But, what effect would it have on the Presidential nomination of any party? Would it just be a huge “beauty contest” primary, with no binding effect?
It would just be a beauty contest.
The decline in NPP is likely due to changes in the voter registration card which coerces voters to align with a political party including the threat of potential disenfranchisement.
Since 2019, AI has increased 41%, L 44%, and P&F 47%. Even the Gs have increased 1% since then despite the typical decline prior to a presidential primary.
Presidential primaries are beauty contests anyhow.
California should go back to the 2000 system but include independent candidates as well.
The central committee elections should be moved to odd-year by mail elections.
California Democratic Party = censorship, invidious elections, communist-style insider nominations, male-dominated approval voting, insider favoritism, double standards and gerrymandering
The United Coalition is changing everything.
Our team is searching for the best nominees for US President, US Senate, CA Governor and 538 Electors under pure proportional representation.
Look at CO Approval Voting Party to confirm no woman can be elected under bogus approval voting (AppV).
The only way to bring real competition in elections is by having two or more winners and three or more nominees.
The Old Boy Network is trying to nominate Governor and Lt. Governor incorrectly because they don’t know anything about the most democratic voting system.
It is limited voting (fewer votes than there are seats), using ranked choice voting (RCV), and the single transferrable vote (STV).
The insiders have been using RCV in single winner election districts since 1992 which snuffs out competition by the 50% plus one vote majority (SF and Oakland).
The correct math eliminates all single winner election districts under limited voting.
Our team uses the correct math and we are the Most Democratic One.
Draft Anna Cannetti [Libertarian] for Insurance Commissioner
Draft Joe Aliotti [Democratic] for CA State Treasurer
James Ogle [One] for CA Lt. Governor
America is a melting pot. No way to systemic racist voting by CA State Democratic Party against women and minority candidates.
As one example of how insiders think, in every State primary and convention we saw unfair tactics against the ten Libertarian Party women nominated for US President in 2020 (of 60+ nominees) but the OK convention only placed one name on their nomination ballot and she won.
Three of the women nominated were black women and that’s systemic racism to include only white women.
My team has the paper ballots as proof which elected a black woman as head of the pure proportional representation Electoral College.

How many ballots?
