The other races in CA are all essentially non-partisan -- anyone can vote for any candidate on the ballot for each position, and [...]

Other Propositions on the Nov. Ballot

Running Green in Congressional District 13

Running Green in D13: Tax the rich and stop the wars by Ann Garrison, June 26, 2018 In California’s top-two primary system, only the top two vote getters advance to the general election, meaning that only two names will be on the ballot for each race in November. Since California is a very blue state, that often means that two Democrats advance, as in the Senate race between incumbent Dianne Feinstein, the anti-Trump candidate, and former State Senate President Kevin de León, the more-anti-Trump-than-Feinstein candidate. However, three [...]

Here then are recommendations from some of the usual suspects for your progressive voting pleasure. Don’t be fooled; even a rigged system can be used to flog its handlers, so make it to the polls with a vengeance, [...]
