PANELISTS: Bruce McPherson, Former Secretary of State, State of California Anthony Adams, Assemblymember (R-59), California State Assembly Duf Sundheim, Former Chairman, California Republican Party Jon Fleischman, Regional Vice-Chair (South), California Republican Party & Publisher, FlashReport.org MODERATOR: Holly Heyser, Professional Journalist in Residence, California State University-Sacramento Now that the State Legislature moved California’s 2008 Presidential primary from June to February, California voters will have a much more important role to play in selecting the Republican and Democratic Presidential candidates for the 2008 General Election. What does this change mean for political partisans? The State Democratic Party allows decline-to-state voters to participate in their Presidential primary, but the Republican Party requires Presidential primary voters to be registered Republicans. Does this difference have the potential to give one party an advantage over the other in an early Primary? Should California’s Republican Party reconsider its policy to exclude decline-to-state voters? How seriously should the Republican and Democratic Parties take the 20% of California voters who identify themselves as “Decline-to-State”? This program was recoded live on May 2, 2007

In 2004, San Francisco voters started using Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) in city and county elections. In addition to assuring that winning candidates are elected with over 50% of the vote, the new voting technique has increased voter turnout and eliminated the need for - and expense of - run-off elections. Now, Alameda and Santa Clara counties are developing RCV systems for their 2008 elections As these San Francisco Bay Area Counties lead the way in changing how their citizens vote, what are the implications for adoption of this voting method statewide? Additionally, what steps would ease the process of implementing RCV for other jurisdictions? This Program was recorded live on April 19, 2007
