Description

The rules of the game matter in elections so today we take a look at the rules of local elections. How someone can win when a majority of voters voted for someone else and whether Anaheim should move their mayor's race to the June primary. We dive into the history of the California Voting Rights Act of 2001, professional plaintiffs who are using lawsuits to get rich, and the pros and cons of district elections compared to at-large elections.
