At the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Fremont, scientists are observing and documenting how climate change is affecting plants in the area.

That meant you could only vote for candidates in your own political party (with the exception of non-partisan offices like county judges and education officials). For instance, if you were a Democrat, your ballot would only list Democratic candidates for national offices, or state senate, or governor or whatever other political races were happening in that particular election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, just to make things that much more confusing, there was a caveat: No Party Preference voters \u003ca href=\"http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/political-parties/no-party-preference/history-political-parties-have-adopted-party-rules-regarding-no-party-preference-voters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">could participate in a party's primary election\u003c/a> \"if authorized by the individual party's rules and duly noticed to the Secretary of State.\" Essentially, the same rules as the presidential primary applied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has six \u003ca href=\"http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/political-parties/qualified-political-parties/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"qualified\" \u003c/a>political parties:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>DEM = Democratic Party\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>REP = Republican Party\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>AI = American Independent Party\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>GRN = Green Party\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>LIB = Libertarian Party\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>PF = Peace & Freedom Party\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The candidate with the most votes from each party then advanced to the general election, where he/she would face top candidates from all the other parties. For each political contest, every party participating in the primary election would be guaranteed a spot in the November general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for any given race, the process generally looked something like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_2019\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 3000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov.png\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-2019 size-full\" title=\"closed_acgov\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov.png\" width=\"3000\" height=\"1923\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov.png 3000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov-400x256.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov-800x513.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov-1440x923.png 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov-1180x756.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov-768x492.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov-320x205.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy acgov.org\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Why the change?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The top-two system came about as a result of Prop 14, which voters approved in 2010. The measure was championed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ostensibly to reform California’s bitterly divided political system. Proponents successfully made the case that an open primary would force candidates to appeal to voters across party lines and reach a larger swath of the public, resulting in a less divided class of elected officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers also argued that increasing the number of choices on the ballot would boost voter turnout and lend greater political voice to California’s growing contingent of independent voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the state’s Republican and Democratic party leaders, as well as a number of smaller parties and big labor unions, strongly denounced the measure on several grounds. They argued it would make primary campaigns significantly more expensive (because candidates would now need to appeal to a larger swath of voters across party lines) and thus benefit the richest candidates with the most name recognition. Opponents also argued that it would decimate the authority of individual political parties and all but eliminate opportunities for third party candidates to advance to the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, though, the measure prevailed with 54 percent support, an indication of the public’s growing discontent with California’s political establishment. Some analysts, however, suggested that many voters supporting the measure didn't completely understand what they were voting for. And interestingly, San Francisco and Orange County, on opposite ends of California’s political spectrum, were among the only counties to oppose it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Wait, déjà vu?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>No -- just California politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1996, voters approved Proposition 198, which instituted the “blanket primary.” The system was similar, in that voters could choose any candidate regardless of party affiliation. But it still resulted in one candidate from each party advancing to the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system was challenged in federal court and ultimately struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 7-2 decision on the basis that it violated a political party's First Amendment right of association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recently, another attempt to institute open primaries in California appeared on the 2004 ballot, but got the smack-down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So get used to the top-two system, because it's here to stay.

That meant you could only vote for candidates in your own political party (with the exception of non-partisan offices like county judges and education officials). For instance, if you were a Democrat, your ballot would only list Democratic candidates for national offices, or state senate, or governor or whatever other political races were happening in that particular election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, just to make things that much more confusing, there was a caveat: No Party Preference voters \u003ca href=\"http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/political-parties/no-party-preference/history-political-parties-have-adopted-party-rules-regarding-no-party-preference-voters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">could participate in a party's primary election\u003c/a> \"if authorized by the individual party's rules and duly noticed to the Secretary of State.\" Essentially, the same rules as the presidential primary applied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has six \u003ca href=\"http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/political-parties/qualified-political-parties/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"qualified\" \u003c/a>political parties:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>DEM = Democratic Party\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>REP = Republican Party\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>AI = American Independent Party\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>GRN = Green Party\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>LIB = Libertarian Party\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>PF = Peace & Freedom Party\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The candidate with the most votes from each party then advanced to the general election, where he/she would face top candidates from all the other parties. For each political contest, every party participating in the primary election would be guaranteed a spot in the November general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for any given race, the process generally looked something like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_2019\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 3000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov.png\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-2019 size-full\" title=\"closed_acgov\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov.png\" width=\"3000\" height=\"1923\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov.png 3000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov-400x256.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov-800x513.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov-1440x923.png 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov-1180x756.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov-768x492.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2012/05/closed_acgov-320x205.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy acgov.org\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Why the change?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The top-two system came about as a result of Prop 14, which voters approved in 2010. The measure was championed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ostensibly to reform California’s bitterly divided political system. Proponents successfully made the case that an open primary would force candidates to appeal to voters across party lines and reach a larger swath of the public, resulting in a less divided class of elected officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers also argued that increasing the number of choices on the ballot would boost voter turnout and lend greater political voice to California’s growing contingent of independent voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both the state’s Republican and Democratic party leaders, as well as a number of smaller parties and big labor unions, strongly denounced the measure on several grounds. They argued it would make primary campaigns significantly more expensive (because candidates would now need to appeal to a larger swath of voters across party lines) and thus benefit the richest candidates with the most name recognition. Opponents also argued that it would decimate the authority of individual political parties and all but eliminate opportunities for third party candidates to advance to the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, though, the measure prevailed with 54 percent support, an indication of the public’s growing discontent with California’s political establishment. Some analysts, however, suggested that many voters supporting the measure didn't completely understand what they were voting for. And interestingly, San Francisco and Orange County, on opposite ends of California’s political spectrum, were among the only counties to oppose it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Wait, déjà vu?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>No -- just California politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1996, voters approved Proposition 198, which instituted the “blanket primary.” The system was similar, in that voters could choose any candidate regardless of party affiliation. But it still resulted in one candidate from each party advancing to the general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system was challenged in federal court and ultimately struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 7-2 decision on the basis that it violated a political party's First Amendment right of association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recently, another attempt to institute open primaries in California appeared on the 2004 ballot, but got the smack-down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In fact,\u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2005/may/08/world/fg-history8\" target=\"_blank\"> Chinese history textbooks\u003c/a> are notorious for omitting any reference to Tiananmen Square and other incidents of government suppression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As George Orwell wrote in his dystopian novel \"1984\" (which is also widely censored):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"quoteText\" style=\"color: #181818;\">\u003cem>“He who controls the past controls the future.

And with little historical information of the event on record, a huge chunk of the population -- as many as 400 million young people -- are likely to be largely unaware of this pivotal event in their nation's history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The education system and the vast apparatus that censors the Chinese media and Internet have done such a formidable job at eliminating references to the events of 1989 that many young people are unaware of what happened or have only a faint notion of what happened,\" Jeremy Goldkorn, the founder of \u003ca href=\"http://www.danwei.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Danwei\u003c/a>, a Beijing-based firm that tracks Chinese media, told \u003ca href=\"http://www.afp.com/en\" target=\"_blank\">Agence France-Presse\u003c/a> .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The result is that many young people who do not remember 1989 themselves would need an unusual degree of curiosity to look for information about what happened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the government's ongoing efforts to erase undesirable history, the duck meme inspired other clever re-imaginings of the original image.

In fact,\u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2005/may/08/world/fg-history8\" target=\"_blank\"> Chinese history textbooks\u003c/a> are notorious for omitting any reference to Tiananmen Square and other incidents of government suppression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As George Orwell wrote in his dystopian novel \"1984\" (which is also widely censored):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"quoteText\" style=\"color: #181818;\">\u003cem>“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Today\", \"Tonight\", \"June 4\", and \"Anniversary\" have been among \u003ca href=\"http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2014/06/sensitive-words-june-4th/\" target=\"_blank\">the many blocked words and terms\u003c/a> on Weibo, the Twitter-esque site, which has more than half a billion registered users in China. In recent years, more obscure workaround references, like \"May 35\" and \"63 plus 1\" have also popped up and been subsequently blacklisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"color: #000000;\">So what about the \"big yellow duck\"?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chinese censors banned the term after the above image went viral on the social media site. The clever meme reinvents the iconic \"Tank Man\" image from the 1989 protest. The original image, captured by Associated Press photographer \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/02/asia/gallery/jeff-widener-gallery/\" target=\"_blank\">Jeff Widener\u003c/a>, shows a young man standing in front of four tanks, blocking them from moving forward (see original video footage above).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the real photo is, not surprisingly, nowhere to be found on Chinese websites, some clever artist created the duck image in its place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When government censors got wind of the image, they apparently failed to see the humor in it and didn't hesitate to add \"big yellow duck\" to the long and growing list of forbidden search terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"color: #000000;\">Roughly a third of today's Chinese citizens were born after the 1989 protests. And with little historical information of the event on record, a huge chunk of the population -- as many as 400 million young people -- are likely to be largely unaware of this pivotal event in their nation's history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The education system and the vast apparatus that censors the Chinese media and Internet have done such a formidable job at eliminating references to the events of 1989 that many young people are unaware of what happened or have only a faint notion of what happened,\" Jeremy Goldkorn, the founder of \u003ca href=\"http://www.danwei.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Danwei\u003c/a>, a Beijing-based firm that tracks Chinese media, told \u003ca href=\"http://www.afp.com/en\" target=\"_blank\">Agence France-Presse\u003c/a> .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The result is that many young people who do not remember 1989 themselves would need an unusual degree of curiosity to look for information about what happened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the government's ongoing efforts to erase undesirable history, the duck meme inspired other clever re-imaginings of the original image.
