Worried about election security? Does the party-focused primary system leave you confused about your voting rights? In the latest episode of "Topping The Duopoly," host Shawn Griffiths talks with Kammi Foote, the chief election administrator in Inyo County, California.

IVP legal advisor Chad Peace joined KUSI's Paul Rudy to discuss the ongoing problems with the presidential primary, what it means for independents, and the Independent Voter Project's simple solution to fix the confusing and unconstitutional process.

The Independent Voter Project (IVP) sent a letter to California Secretary of State Alex Padilla Friday, requesting clarification on one, simple thing: Will the 2020 presidential primary treat independent voters and candidates fairly?

This week, we learned which of the 23 Democratic candidates running for president will take the stage for the first debate of the 2020 election on June 26. One thing that doesn’t get discussed in the media is how the DNC has used all 23 candidates as a data-acquisition project.

There are over 5.6 million registered No Party Preference (NPP) voters in California. By 2020, this number will likely be even closer to 6 million.To put that into perspective, California has more registered indy voters than 29 states and the District of Columbia have people living in them.

No Party Preference (NPP) and American Independent (AI) voters in California are likely going to be confused when their ballot arrives for the March 2020 presidential primary as they will have no option for president.

As both parties spin the national narrative, millions of Americans are pushing for election reforms RIGHT NOW that would upset the establishment on both sides of the aisle.Every day, more people are connecting the way we elect our representatives to the type of representation we get.

The Independent Voter Project (IVP) is proud to support a new effort by Katherine Gehl and her organization, Democracy Found, in Wisconsin to implement a nonpartisan top-four open primary with ranked choice voting in the general election.
