Yeah, but only if the solution helps an opposition candidate. If a Democrat were adversely affected, the situation would be different. Sort of like if a Democratic candidate were polling badly, and the party decided to replace him long after the deadline for doing this had passed. It becomes a "voting rights" issue if a Democrat is affected, and "too bad, that's the law" if it's a Republican.
That is precisely why we can never affort to have Democrats elected to anything. Vote for the candidate with the greatest possibility of defeating the strongest Democrat.
Someday that may allow voting for third party kooks, but today it means voting for strong Republicans, RINO's or whatever. In the current California race, voting for anyone other than Arnold means helping elect a Democrat.
