Prof. Jason McDaniel on how non-competitive elections are contributing to low voter turnout in CA

Author: SFGATE
June 7, 2022

"The primary elections at the top of the statewide ticket are not competitive enough to compel voter engagement. And the lack of competitive elections generates a knock-on effect where campaigns are conserving their funds for November instead of spending money now to mobilize voters," - Prof. McDaniel
