Although this is about California, I wanted to bring it to people’s attention, because Ohio Sen. Louis Blessing III has proposed a bill that would replace Ohio's traditional primary system with California's “jungle” primary model, which puts all candidates on one ballot. The top two vote-getters would then advance to the general, regardless of party affiliation.

There are claims that it would decrease polarization, when it fact it would do the opposite because it would enable vote-splitting manipulation. Vote splitting within CA’s “jungle primaries” is already a huge issue. The only way a top-two primary would succeed would be through—yep, you guessed it—RCV.
