Mamdani and Trump Agree on Major Voting Rights Issue (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On November 3, ranked choice voting goes on trial in three cities: Irvine, California; Honolulu, Hawaii; and Longmont, Colorado. No city in Hawaii uses ranked choice voting, and the state capital could be the first. These are local questions about local elections, not the national party fights the pundits keep having. The appetite for reform is not subtle. A new poll finds 56% of voters want to replace closed party primaries, and here's why: just 9% of voters already picked your Congress in low-
How Liberal Is Marin County, Really? Independent Voters Will Decide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
MILL VALLEY, Calif. – Marin County has a reputation as one of America's most liberal bastions. This is where the Grateful Dead played its first show on LSD, at a Muir Beach acid test, and where mountain biking was born. Birkenstock has sold its sandals to Americans from here since 1971. Marin parents once skipped kindergarten vaccines at the highest rate in the Bay Area. So there was never much doubt that Marin and Sonoma's next Assembly member would be a Democrat. The question this fall is what
Big Brother or Ballot Security? The Supreme Court Just Picked a Side, For Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For more than 50 years, Washington has promised Americans it would not stitch together everything it knows about us into a single file. On September 25, the Supreme Court allowed the government, at least for now, to test how far that promise really goes.

The decision was temporary, a pause on a lower court's ruling rather than a final verdict on the pro
Democrats Gerrymandered David Valadao’s District. Did It Backfire? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
GOP US Rep. David Valadao has never won his seat in Congress on Republican votes alone because too few Republicans live in the district where he was raised, lives, and runs his family farm. He is a moderate Republican, has won California's 22nd Congressional District five times since 2012 and lost it only once in 2018, by just 800 votes. He beat former Democratic Assemblymember Rudy Salas by three percentage points in 2022 and beat him again in 2024 by 1,692 votes, on a ballot Donald Trump carri
The Socialists Are Coming. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes California’s election system provides a unique window into national politics. The battle between the Democratic Socialists of America and so-called Mainstream Democrats has mostly played out in closed partisan primaries throughout the country. California offers the opposite experiment. Instead of asking independents and voters from the other party to sit out, the state puts the same candidates in front of everyone and lets the entire electorate decide. This November, five competitive c
