It's prob not gonna happen anyway. Rs don't get that high a vote share and all of the polls have the combined R share close to the typical total R share already, with like 20% undecided that are largely D. There's a real shot still that it's two Ds anyway just because Bianco and Hilton are capped out on support already.

    There would be a recall 3 seconds after they take office lmao

    One would hope CA realizes they need to change their voting system to stop being garbage after this. Jungle primary with top 2 (or top 4) advancing is fine, but there needs to be approval or ranked voting in the first round.

    Honestly I agree with one addendum: there needs to be approval voting or at least STAR/RCV for the primary, and this is one of those situations that proves it. That two people who'll get all of maybe 40% combined (more likely 35%) may advance to the general while those that made up the 60% won't is absurd and absolutely worse than just having two separate partisan primaries.
