California Looks to Restore Party Primaries, Raising GOP Governor Concerns

A petition filed by political consultant Steve Maviglio seeks to undo California’s top-two primary system (Prop 14) in favor of separate party primaries, arguing it would restore party choice and curb perceived dysfunction. If approved, California could see two Republicans in the general election for governor, potentially enabling a GOP win in a state long led by Democrats. The move comes amid early polling that hints at two Republicans ahead in the gubernatorial race, with Schwarzenegger having backed Prop 14 to reduce gridlock.
