Did advocates for Proposition 14, the Top Two primary, achieve their goals?

What will be an ideal response?

Varies. Students might answer that the results are mixed, or "yes and no." Advocates who wanted more participation by independents should be satisfied (votes of independents are counted), but the most important goal--a legislature full of moderates--has not been achieved. Although more Democrats have joined a moderate caucus, the legislature is dominated overall by Democrats who occupy the left-hand side of the ideological spectrum, and Republicans have been marginalized or sidelined.
