The Republican majority did the same thing in AZ. When Arizonans rejected Top Two, they got busy writing election law.

H.B. 2305 would significantly raise the number of signatures that small-party candidates are required to get to make it on the ballot. A provision of the law requires candidates for Congress and the state legislature to receive one-third of one percent of registered voters in their respective districts. That’s far more than Greens or Libertarians are currently required to collect; Libertarians would see the number of signatures their candidates are required to collect jump 40-fold.

Now they're fighting a voter referendum to overturn it. They're not too desperate to eliminate the competition, are they?

At least they allow write in votes. Truthfully, in these times, if someone could get some backing from 3rd parties and run a write in campaign, without party affiliation, that would be a major victory.
