  1. Wonderful work! This is the kind of information that are meant to be shared around the net. Disgrace on Google for now not positioning this post upper! Come on over and consult with my site . Thanks =)

  2. Richard — Do any foreign countries use a top-two primary system, or is this a uniquely American travesty?

  3. There is no other country in the world that puts party labels on the ballot even though the party had no role in choosing that candidate.

    The only states that have ever done that are Louisiana, Washington, and California.

  4. “Top-two” is evil. It is an attempt to end free elections in America.

    “Top-two” in reality creates a one-party system with a single primary and all party functions and candidates controlled by the state.

    “Top-two” must be stopped.
