Yet the vast NPP electorate is banished to a form of political steerage, orphans in a society increasingly dominated by bitter and ever-deepening partisanship.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s frankly too bad. No Party Preference voters can be the mysterious middle of California politics. They are notoriously fickle on any given ballot yet powerful enough to sway the outcome if so moved.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The two dominant parties will never grant NPP voters equal status, leaving the nation stuck in a political duopoly. Meanwhile, California\u2019s pundit class keeps wringing its hands over whether our primary system should always produce one Republican and one Democrat in the runoff, while millions of voters who could serve as the state\u2019s moderating force are left out of the conversation.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey always have lower turnout,\u201d said Paul Mitchell, the election consultant who helped Democrats redraw the congressional maps that California voters approved in November via Proposition 50. \u201cIt\u2019s probably a function of their age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Of the ballots cast by NPP voters as of Tuesday, about 24% of NPP voters in California had theirs counted. Meanwhile, election offices have counted 40% of Republican ballots and 39% of Democratic ballots.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The NPP crowd \u201creally doesn\u2019t think that the primaries are for them,\u201d Mitchell said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiegorelocationnews.com\/index.php\/2026\/06\/10\/the-10-best-midfielders-at-the-2026-world-cup-ranked-2\/\">The 10 Best Midfielders at the 2026 World Cup-Ranked<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Mitchell is right in that those without a party skew somewhat younger.

About 29% self-identify as liberal, 21% as conservative. That leaves a majority, 51% identifying as moderates. And this is what sets this bloc of voters apart in polarized California.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Only 22% of Republicans, by contrast, describe themselves as moderates. Slightly more Democrats, 31%, identify in the middle.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>When Californians speak decisively in an election, it\u2019s because those without a party find their voice. That\u2019s undoubtedly what happened, for example, when about 70% of California voters wanted stiffer penalties for repeat petty thefts, and treatment for fentanyl users as an option instead of a longer time in jail, <u>the guts of Proposition 36<\/u> in 2024.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Our current primary system rewards the top two vote-getters heading to the November runoff regardless of party affiliation. That is why in the 6th Congressional District in Yolo, Sacramento and Placer counties, NPP candidate Kevin Kiley of Rocklin (formerly a Republican) will face Democrat Richard Pan in the November runoff. Likewise, all signs are that two Democrats, incumbent Doris Matsui and challenger Mai Vang, will face one another come November to represent the 7th Congressional District.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>If NPP voters sat out the June 2 election because the parties produced underwhelming candidates, who can blame them? But any democracy works best when its citizens participate.
