In 1988, California banned public financing of elections — one of the best methods to counter the power of Big Money. Voters can restore it this November by voting YES on Prop 4. Watch.

"That’s where leadership from Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature’s budget committees is essential. For about $1 million... California could save taxpayers many times more and gain a more transparent, secure, publicly owned voting system." Full-oped: calmatters.org/commentary/2...

Opinion | California can sidestep scandal and banish bias while counting votes

Open source voting systems are more transparent and cheaper than the state’s current contract with Smartmatic, which is facing bribery charges.

Voters deserve election technology that’s transparent & accountable — not secret software controlled by multinational voting machine corporations. Our @calmatters.org op‑ed explains why California must make it easier to certify open‑source, paper‑ballot voting systems as an alternative. 🧵

Opinion | By supporting legislation that makes it easier to certify open source voting alternatives, Newsom can strengthen our faith in elections by protecting vote counting from even the appearance of partisanship or moneyed influence... bit.ly/4kQKEvW 📝 Trent Lange 📸 Jules Hotz

🚨BIG NEWS: @gavinnewsom.bsky.social just signed legislation putting public financing of elections on the 2026 ballot of the largest state in America. Public financing of campaigns was - by far - the most significant factor in @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's ascent. Nothing else even comes close.
