This “jungle primary” thing seems like a hot mess.
Also I read that Republicans are only one quarter of registered voters in California. Yet the top candidates for governor so far are both Republican? WTF??

Yet the top candidates for governor so far are both Republican?
Most assuredly not. As of this writing, one Republican has the largest single vote share, but all republicans combined have less than 39%. About eight democrats are splitting 61%.

Ranked choice voting is what we need
Agreed. But the jungle primary seems like it could be a baby step in that direction.
Newsom vetoed it, I think
Oct 19 he vetoed allowing cities /counties to choose to use it
Calling an AI slop site “factually” is peak 2026
lol. I didn’t even realize it was AI slop. I had read the stat in a Vox piece and was looking for a similar citation. My apologies.
Looks like that stat is true, so no shade on you pointing it out. Just found the source funny.

That explains it!
17% are “independent”, which is most of the time what republicans who realize it keeps them from getting laid calls themselves.
