“Raffensperger said his office’s goal at early voting sites and at the 2,400 polling places on Election Day is to have voters spend as little time as possible filling out their ballots. It took the average voter only a few minutes to cast a ballot on Tuesday morning”
from here in Los Angeles, where my ballot was 6 pages long, I’m jealous. I think I could do without having to vote on the judges and Community College Board members, although I guess it offers a wedge into what otherwise could be an old-boy network.
Anyway, my CA ballot has been collected and counted, I got the text today.
Bro I’ve spent 2 hours so far on my San Francisco ballot and I’m not even done. We had FIFTEEN propositions this election. Twelve people running for school board and I gotta pick 4. Shit is crazy.
Exactly. Of course we could just skip some sections, but I figure it’s my duty to at least read up a bit, check the candidates’ websites and endorsements and make an informed decision to balance out some idiot who’s “filling in the bubbles to make a picture of a penis,” as Lewis Black said on the Daily Show last night.
Yeah I opened my ballot saw how thick it was outside of the envelope and said fuck this im doing it later. I am in the Inland Empire what the fuck are we voting on? The positions of bird fondler.

Local positions can be very important

So glad we at least get to do the whole thing at home!
Yes. AND, I grouse about it, but I’m glad we have all these things to vote on. Democracy in action.

Page and a half here, and almost all of it was uncontested local elections.
