“Extremely Scary”: CA Dems to Change Election Rules Out of Fear of GOP Wins

“Democracy”, as we all know, only works when Democrats win elections. Any time Democrats don’t win elections, “democracy is under attack.”

California Democrats thoroughly rigged elections so it’s already a one-party state. And they liked the idea of effectively jettisoning primaries because they were able to have general elections with Democrats running against Democrats.

Now, suddenly, they face the “specter” of a gubernatorial election in which there are too many unpopular and unknown Dems, leading to one or even two GOPers on the final ballot.

Here’s the LA Times, not even pretending that it’s anything but a set of political talking points from its party, expressing terror over the prospect.

I guess, democracy is under attack again.

Voters in California may get a chance to remake the state’s open primary system in two years.

Political consultant Steve Maviglio filed an application Friday with state officials that seeks to alter California’s voting system by reverting to a traditional primary. Under the proposal, the top candidates from each party would advance to the general election in November.

The current system allows the top two candidates, regardless of party, to move on to the runoff. That has led to instances in which two Democrats or two Republicans have faced off in the general election.

But mostly Dems. Now suddenly it might be Republicans and the system needs to be changed.

The state’s gubernatorial election, for example, has prompted concern that two Republicans could shut out the Democratic candidates.

There was no “concern” when Dems were shutting out Republicans, but the other way around is unacceptable.

“It was extremely scary to envision the November ballot for governor with Republicans on it,” Maviglio said.

A news release from Maviglio states that the proposed repeal of Prop. 14 “is fueled by concerns that California’s primaries are disenfranchising a majority of California voters by limiting choice to candidates from one party.”

Just understand that “democracy” is Democrats winning and “disenfranchising” is Democrats not winning. Whether it’s ranked choice voting, open or any other gimmick, mail-in ballots, the election system will be remade as many times as it takes to ensure that one single outcome. That’s not democracy, it’s a casino tyranny.
