A majority of California Latino voters say they want to keep the nonpartisan Top Two primary or modify it to advance more than two candidates to the general election. They don't want the state to go back to closed primaries.
A bipartisan group of House members says it wants to stop politicians from choosing their voters — but the real test is whether Congress can act before the map-rigging arms escalates again.
The system Republican and Democratic party insiders want to "undo" produced a legislature where women hold 49 percent of seats, people of color hold 55 percent, and Latinos have reached a third of the body for the first time.
With ballots already in voters’ hands, the June 2 primary is testing whether California’s independent-minded electorate understands how much power it has.
Una campaña estatal no partidista, Tu Primaria, está cerrando la brecha de participación entre los votantes latinos e independientes de California antes de que termine el período de votación.
