On May 21, the L.A. Watts Times asked its readers to vote “No” on California’s Proposition 14, the top-two ballot measure on the ballot on June 8. See its statement here.

The L.A. Watts Times was founded in 1965, and is today the most widely distributed African American newspaper in Los Angeles.

In other news about the Proposition 14 campaign, on May 21 Christina Tobin was interviewed for six minutes on KGO, one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s leading radio stations. She mentioned that political scientist Boris Shor has studied polarization in the state legislatures of all 50 states, over the last 15 years, and that although he finds that California has the most polarized state legislature, Washington state has the 2nd most polarized legislature. And Washington state has had either a blanket primary, or a top-two primary, in almost all of the last fifteen years. The host was quite surprised, because the California newspapers that support Proposition 14 always say that Proposition 14 would reduce polarization.
