Former California State Senator Steve Peace, who played a big role in causing California to switch to a top-two system in June 2010, has this article. He writes, “It’s time for more choice in California. Nonpartisan top-four (or five) primaries that allow voters to rank more candidates in the general election are the next great nonpartisan reform.”
Peace has been in favor of altering top-two for many years. In August 19, 2015, at a public forum organized by the Independent Voters Network and California Forward, he said he favors a top-three system.
Also, here is an article by Chad Peace, also calling for changing to a top-five system.

Top 4 Primary is not much better than Top 2 Primary. Return California elections to what they were before Top Two Primary passed.
Light dawns on Marble Head. Maybe the prospect of the Democrats being locked out of the race for Governor has sobered these folks up.
