Does Top Two voting make elections more democratic, or is it in fact anti-democratic?
Ken Bingenheimer, at the National Common Ground Examiner have asked proponents on both sides of this argument to state their cases. On the pro side is Nancy Hanks, who runs The Hankster blog and is affiliated with the Committee for a Unified Independent Party. Speaking for the con side is Solomon Kleinsmith, who operates the Rise of the Center blog.

The states of California and Washington have a Top Two voting system. Follow the debate for more on this new voting rights issue.
I'm hoping Nancy actually talks about Top Two in the next round. The first post she made didn't say anything about Top Two, it skipped right by it and only talked about Open Primaries.
