OPEN PRIMARY


“A top-two primary is a type of primary election where all candidates are listed on the same ballot, regardless of their party affiliation, and all registered voters participate in the same primary. The top two vote-getters advance to the general election, regardless of their partisan affiliations. Consequently, it is possible for two candidates belonging to the same political party to win in a top-two primary and face off in the general election.” Ballotpedia.

Only 3 States hold top-two primaries; California, Washington and Nebraska! In California there are 5 democrats and only 2 republicans running for Governor and the democrats concern is that dividing the primary vote between 5 democrats could mean that the 2 republicans will be facing each other in the general election! Not likely to happen as the democrats understand that would be a disaster for Newsom!

And that is all I’m going to say about that!
