California's Proposition 14

[Хahar 🤔]

I would have voted against it if I could.

No, what jackass put that on the ballot?

Abel Maldonado (now Lieutenant Governor). It was his price for voting for the budget.

As someone who lives in a state with that system already implemented, I have no problems with it and find it much more interesting than the system used by other states. I'd probably vote for it again.

Interestingly, I believe you're the only Washingtonian on the forum who feels that way.

The only issue I see as legitimate is something that Alcon brought up in that state parties have the incentive to limit competition within their party during the primary. I’ll have to see a few more elections with the system before I judge the actual effects of this.

This is my big problem with it.

Awful idea. All that does is prevent Republicans from having a chance because with how outnumbered they are in CA, the top 2 will always be democrats.

Leave and come back when you know what you're talking about.
