Top Tweets for #TopTwoPrimary
Our friends at @OpenPrimaryUSA issued a statement that puts it well. Partisan consultants pushed "doomsday" scenarios ahead of the #TopTwoPrimary.
But their predictions failed. Voters freely decided what future they want for the CA and candidates needed to compete for support.
For months, party insiders warned California’s Top Two primary would break democracy.
Then voters showed up and proved the consultant class wrong.
@OpenPrimaryUSA says the doomsday scenario wasn’t analysis. It was manipulation dressed up as political insight. #TopTwoPrimary #IndependentVoters #CaliforniaPolitics

My colleagues and I called this in early May.
The so-called "data analysts" running with the Two-Republican panic under Top Two were just partisan insiders pushing a narrative. #TopTwoPrimary #CApolitics #CaliforniaPrimary #OpenPrimaries

Over the last few years, I have been in the habit of #Voting very early by putting my #Ballot in the drop box, but since this #TopTwoPrimary made it necessary to wait to see the #PollNumbers at the last minute to know which #Democrat to #Vote for, I #Voted at the #PollingPlace.
None of this mail-in nonsense for me! I walked to the polls (uphill! both ways! In the fog!) and did it old school style!

It's true, California takes a long time to count its ballots. But that, by itself, does not indicate anything improper. I explain what voters need to know on @IVN. #TopTwoPrimary #CApolitics #CaliforniaPrimary #Vote2026
California’s vote count doesn’t end on election night — and that’s not automatically a scandal.
Mail ballots, signature checks, ballot curing, provisional ballots, and audits are all part of the process.
IVN Editor @ThatShawnG writes the real danger is when campaigns weaponize the wait.

Top Two was never designed to serve political parties.
It was designed to serve voters.
That may be why insiders from both major parties have wanted to kill it since day one.

I desperately wanted to #Vote for #KatiePorter in a real #DemocraticPrimary, but because #California now has a #TopTwoPrimary, I am forced to vote for whichever non-#Billionaire #Democrat is ahead. I know others who have not yet voted for the same reason.

I would have #Voted for #KatiePorter weeks ago if this were a real party #Primary, but the bogus #TopTwoPrimary means I can't choose the #Candidate I want; I have to #Vote for the top #DemocraticCandidate .
Want more choice? Expand the number of candidates that advance to November. Add ranked choice ballots. Don't go back to party control and independent voter suppression. #CApolitics #CAleg #TopTwoPrimary #IndependentVoters #MoreChoice
Did you know: The primary system party insiders want to undo helped produce a California Legislature where women hold 49% of seats, people of color hold 55%, and Latinos make up a third of the body for the first time.

The question California voters should ask before signing any petition to repeal Top Two:
Who decides who makes the general election ballot — voters or parties?
The author of CA Top Two explains how under a party-nominated system, the answer is not voters. #TopTwoPrimary #IndependentVoters #CApolitics #ElectionReform

If a campaign, canvasser, or party operative tells you that you need to register with a party to vote in California’s June 2 primary, they are wrong.
The 2026 primary is nonpartisan. Every voter gets the same ballot. #CApolitics #Vote2026 #TopTwoPrimary #IndependentVoters
California independents: You do NOT need to register with a political party to vote in the June 2 primary.
Every voter gets the same ballot. Every voter can choose any candidate. No party permission required.
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. IVN Editor @ThatShawnG breaks it down. #TopTwoPrimary #OpenPrimaries #CApolitics #Vote2026

Election season is here—which means it's time to pretend you already know what a top-two primary is. Or just watch our video.

California’s primary system is one of the most voter-inclusive in the country.
The real question in 2026: Are campaigns, parties, and the media giving Latino and independent voters a reason to participate? #CApolitics #Vote2026 #TopTwoPrimary #IndependentVoters

The fight over California’s Top Two primary isn’t left vs. right. It’s party insiders vs. voter choice.
More Choice California launched to defend the nonpartisan primary system from a repeal effort backed by GOP and Dem operatives. #TopTwoPrimary #IndependentVoters
California’s nonpartisan primary is under attack, and the effort isn’t coming from just one party.
Democratic and Republican operatives are quietly aligning to repeal the system that lets every voter, including independents, participate on equal footing. #CApolitics #TopTwoPrimary #IndependentVoters

The most overlooked statewide race in California is the one that decides how much voters trust the next election.
Secretary of state is not a ceremonial office.
It runs the system everyone else argues about. #CAprimary #IndependentVoters #TopTwoPrimary https://t.co/aiW4v6p8aL
Independent voters should pay close attention to California’s redrawn congressional map.
In some districts, their vote actually matters more than before -- and it's because they are not locked out.
#CApolitics #IndependentVoters #TopTwoPrimary

California’s primary system doesn't lock voters out.
It’s letting all voters participate, regardless of party.
That’s exactly why party leaders keep trying to convince people it’s broken.

California’s top-two primary is about to shock the governor race—most voters have zero clue what’s coming. #CaliforniaPolitics #TopTwoPrimary
