I too am wary of using term like fair left. Let’s just talk about the problems with prop 1. Independents are not prohibited from voting in general elections just primaries where parties choose their candidates. Note: parties means registered parties ie Republican and democrat and others. If you want to vote in the primary look at the platforms and pick a party that matches your political view. Moderates are not disenfranchised as some propose. Ranked choice voting is rarely used in the US because it is rife with fraud and does not reflect the majority vote. Look up the # of states that use ranked choice if you doubt me

"The most sinister part of Prop 1 is what it will do to our general elections. Right now, Idaho’s counties, like Bonner and Boundary, use secure paper ballots, hand-counted to ensure election integrity. Prop 1 will destroy that, forcing us to adopt shady voting systems, like the infamous Dominion machines, and introduce Ranked Choice Voting—a confusing, fraud-prone process that will undermine the sanctity of your vote."

YES! Ranked Choice Voting is the go-to method for hijacking elections in Berkley, SF, and Oakland, CA. The results speak for themselves. Look into the exorbinant costs of running the Internet connected machines rather than 1 day, hand-counted, results in same day. CA counties are going to be squeezed into submission due to economics related to using Dominion et al. Gov. Newscum is aware of the situation, pending.
