Endorsement: Against Prop 14

I, Milagros Valenzuela, would be in against of Prop 14. Prop 14 would increase the money needed to campaign because although all candidates have an equal chance, the candidate with the most exposure will have the most votes and get into the Top Two. The more affluent candidates will also use ads to manipulate voters into thinking he is their candidate and may offend his opposers. Prop 14 would also allow candidates not to state their political party, making it for the voter harder to decide, and disguising as an independent. Prop 14 would also prohibit write in votes so if the candidate you chose was not in the ballot on the general election then you would be forced to vote for someone else or not vote at all. This would have a major impact on THIRD PARTIES because since they dont have enough money to begin with they would not be represented in the ballot at all. Prop 14 would keep the two party system which has already shown ineficient because of all the gridlock in government. More importantly, Prop 14 allows general elections to have two candidates from the same party which will shut out many voters and make opponents vote for a weaker candidate. California has an effective voting election process that allows all voters to cast their votes but Prop 14 would destroy that system... say NO on Prop 14.
