The last time California had 30% turnout in a non-presidential primary was in 1998, and that was the blanket primary.
The lat time California had 30% in a non-presidential segregated partisan primary was 1982.
NO primaries — producing only extremist robot party hacks.
P.R. in all legislative body elections.
Top Two has been a step in the right direction for voting reform. It worked perfectly for the ten United Coalition of candidates for California State Offices before the primary and the 29 State candidates after the primary.
The ground was fertile for those seeking openness, cooperation, unity and good will as demonstrated by the ten state candidates leading up the primary, whose participants included all parties and independents who expressed interest in unity and who accepted the invitation to join the team working for the good of the whole.
It is the party bosses who want to control the candidates and the outcomes who have filed suits against Top Two. They are those who have been identified as hostile towards unity.
Those opposed to Top Two are hostile to unity, free speech and cooperation.
They opposed to Top Two are the same ones who delete comments about unity and who burned bridges connecting people and with them year after year, cycle after cycle.
Are you tired of continual fussing and fighting and would you like to work with legitimately elected personalities who favor community, cooperation, unity, order and free speech?
Consider signing up with the team that does all that, the team that’s been doing this and more for more twenty years, the United Coalition at the 9th USA Parliament:

Top Two is bad – period!
