AINews Summary
Last updatedJul 17, 2026
Nina Linh is in the news because a California effort to repeal the state’s top-two primary system has started circulating for signatures. The measure still needs nearly 875,000 signatures by January 2027 to reach the 2028 ballot. The proposal is drawing pushback from voting-reform advocates who say it would limit voter choice.
