California has developed a reputation for taking as long as a month to fully count its ballots. The question many have is, why? Here is what voters need to know.
June 2 primary elections are being held in several states across the US. And when it comes to independent voters and their rights, none of them have the same rules.

If she advances past the Top Two primary, it would be more than a local upset. It would be evidence that something structural has shifted in American politics. It’ll also say something important about California’s nonpartisan primary system.
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.
