Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:28:23 +0000 http://www.ballot-access.org/?p=11178#comment-786721 In CA, under a “top-two” communist system there will be a single party. It will not be the Democratic or Republican party, it will be the party of the state – the communist party of California. The fact is that in the old USSR there were often two or more candidates nominated by the single party on the ballot which allowed the voters to choose between the candidates of this single party. Yeah, just like the single, state communist party being created by “top-two.” In the old USSR the average number of candidates per office was just a bit under two. Under “top-two” we could easily end up with a lower average when the uncontested lower level offices are included. This is no accident. The creators and supporters of “top-two” know that they are creating a one-party communist style election system. It will allow the state and the power brokers to control access to elections thoroughly and prevent free elections for as long as the system is allowed to stay in effect. This is the intent of the plan. “Top-two” is communism. “Top-two” is communism. “Top-two” is communism. Wake up California! “Top-two” is communism.

Wake up California!

Since the Supreme Court ruling did not come until 2008, his editorial gives a misleading representation of the constitutional issues. Hopefully the opponents of Proposition 14 will not resort to the despicable tactics of the Oregon teachers union. I was going to ask about the apparent endorsement of opposition by the Washington League of Women Voters, but that has now been removed. #2 The editorial from Blair Bobier was from 2005 when the Oregon legislature was considering passing the Top 2 primary via the legislative process.

Actually, it was in November 2008. 65.94 percent voted "no" as M65 lost in every county. This website says that Oregon voters defeated the “top two” in 2006. Actually, it was in November 2008.
