I am quoted in this story on FoxNews.com 
Residents voted in favor of the jungle primary in a 2010 referendum known as Proposition 14.
It was intended to get more moderate candidates elected to foster 
compromise and “to end  nasty, partisan wrangling and gridlock in 
Sacramento and Washington,” said Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola
 Law School in Los Angeles.
“But whether California's jungle primary will achieve its stated purpose
 remains to be seen,” she said. “In particular, it is difficult to 
predict because of the recent redistricting process.”
Levinson says her “strong guess” is more moderate candidates will 
emerge as winners, but as a result of the new district lines and a shift
 in demographics “I think we are likely to see more Democratic 
lawmakers.”
