Estado de CaliforniaCandidato para Secretario de Estado
Gail K. Lightfoot
Mis 3 prioridades principales
- Fin de los dos primeros: solo dos candidatos en noviembre, restaurar el acceso a las boletas electorales de los partidos políticos en noviembre
- Agregar NOTA [Ninguna de las anteriores] a todas las boletas para que los votantes puedan decir ¡No!
- Permitir que cualquiera de las partes nomine por comité y convención, el estado no debe regir a los partidos políticos.

End Top Two
The disadvantages of Prop 14, the voter nominated Primary which allows the two candidates with the most votes to appear onthe November ballot.
Claiming to "increase voter participation' Prop 14 gave voters more choices in the Primay but limited the Novermber General Electio to the the two high rollers with plenty of money to outdistance the long list of candidates.
Those without funds to compete with long voter statements [paid for by the word], mailers and media advertising don't reach the November ballot.
The two who do are often from the same political party. November voters don't see the otherpolitical parties at all.
Since 2012, after Prop14, we see very long lists of candidates on the Primary ballot as individuals seek to replace the powerful incumbents and those chosen to follow them in office. This fails to 'fire' any elected officials as the votes are spread between dozens of individuals candidates. The end result is more voters become disillusioned and unhappy turning to Decline to State and not vote at all.
NOTA
None of the Above lets votes Just Say No to their choices.
Libertarians always place NOTA [None of the Above] on their ballots so voters can Just Say No which leads to new nominations and a better choice. It takes 50% +1 to win any election. The nominee with the lowest vote is dropp in 2nd and 3rd ballots with NOTA always in place intil one candidates gets 50% +1 to win the election. Occasionally NOTA wins and new nominations are in order.
