State is so dysfunction that it allows 2 Dem against each other in national election in Nov. Corruption does give politician upper hand to grasp power.
This is the result of a "campaign reform" initiative passed by the voters in 2010. As a result, the race for California's Senate seat is between two Democrats with no write-in votes being counted. Many Republicans told me that they are voting for the more "moderate" Democrat, but I'm through with this "lesser of two evils" garbage and will not be voting in the Senate race.
