Does Top Two voting make elections more democratic, or is it in fact anti-democratic?
While a variety of organizations are working for electoral reform that will give more sway to independent voters and voters in the political middle, there are sharp disagreements about Top Two in particular.
Ken Bingenheimer, at the National Common Ground Examiner have asked proponents on both sides of this argument to state their cases. On the pro side is Nancy Hanks, who runs The Hankster blog and is affiliated with the Committee for a Unified Independent Party. Speaking for the con side is Solomon Kleinsmith, who operates the Rise of the Center blog. With today's opening pieces begins a series that will follow with two rounds of rebuttal and one wrap-up where the two will discuss their areas of common ground.

I'm hoping Nancy actually talks about Top Two in the next round. The first post she made didn't say anything about Top Two, it skipped right by it and only talked about Open Primaries.
