Editorial on Hayakawa and party switching in California ballots
The piece argues whether Hayakawa can win a Republican primary given California's law barring candidates who switch parties within 12 months of filing. It discusses cross filing, party loyalty, and how voters or courts should weigh such switches. It notes Kennedy and Buckley cases as context and calls for voter or legislative review if the court upholds or overturns the law.

Critics note errors in his statements on tidelands revenues, posted oil prices, and federal energy controls, while a possible indictment hangover from ITT relations looms. Reinecke’s flip in stance on crude oil price controls and missing dissent on exemptions raise concerns about governance as Oregon-California disputes unfold.
