TOP-4 PRIMARY SOUNDS GREAT, BUT… if Prop 1 passes, it will give more power to outsiders to manipulate the system by bankrolling certain candidates. Which means only those big money uniparty candidates will advance to the general election.
RANKED CHOICE VOTING SOUNDS GREAT, BUT… it requires a computer algorithm to count and takes weeks longer to certify. Ballots are eliminated, reducing the total number of votes. (FYI, reducing the total number of ballots each round means the “winner” is calculated using a fraction of the actual ballots cast.)
CONCLUSION: Prop 1 does nothing to fix voter turnout or secure fair elections. It will overturn recently gained election integrity laws such as mandatory audits.
