CA GOP to Run their Primary

Thanks to Ballot Access News for this post.

I have been posting about the parties should run their own candidate selection process before an Open Primary that all voters would vote in. If a candidate gets 50% + 1, they would be elected. If not, the Top Two would go to a General Election. I feel the State's should not be paying tax payers' dollars to run private parties elections.

Maybe this is a start.

The California Republican Party's rules committee approved by a 10-8 vote late last night an ambitious endorsement plan that would have the party send out ballots to all registered Republican voters in the state to determine the party's officially endorsed candidates. The plan comes as a response to Proposition 14, passed in 2010, which created a top-two runoff system, regardless of party affiliation.

If approved by the entire General Session, The GOP's new system would take effect in 2014 so that the party would have the time to raise money and organize the mammoth effort to mail out ballots to all of the state's Republicans. The state currently has 5.3 million registered Republicans.
