Electorate Backs California Fair Elections Act

Submitted by Monica Rober on Fri, 10/23/2009 - 19:19

A survey conducted by Lake Research shows that California voters back the state's Fair Elections Act. The Act, which will be on the ballot in June of 2010, would provide public financing of elections for the secretary of state's race."On Thursday, David Mermin of Lake Research joined Fair Elections Campaign Chairman Trent Lange and representatives of the California Nurses Association and California Common Cause to discuss the survey’s findings. Mermin said of the survey, “It’s no secret that voters are frustrated with politics-as-usual, and our survey shows clearly that voters of every political party and every region of the state are ready to act to bring fair elections to California. Eight months ahead of the June 2010 election, the campaign to pass the California Fair Elections Act starts from an extremely solid base of support and is poised to pick up strength as voters learn more about the measure."To read the full article, click here.
