    I voted early last week.

    Houston's election is pretty important this year thanks to HERO.

    Yeah this is the thing about local elections

    Getting decent information about them is like pulling teeth

    I'm all trying to pull things together because i only found my county actually had shit going on yesterday

    But i'm fucking voting, you can't stop me!

    Seems like a pretty minor election in CA unless you have some big local issues on your ballot. No state-wide or federal issues here.

    I voted for making it illegal to sell items made from endangered animals and against extorting the legislature into putting in a 2/3 requirement to raise taxes.

    I've been hearing about the weed monopoly a little bit

    how will that even work when the law creates an illegal monopoly

    will they have to throw out the whole thing or will they be allowed to keep weed and just the part that creates the monopoly will have to be scrapped

    I don't have to pay attention because I get my ballot in the mail along with a thing that explains everything on the ballot, plus all the tons of shit that candidates and people for/against various initiatives mail out.

    Mail-in voting is great. Every state should have it.

    I am going to do the same in a little bit.

    Because decriminalizing minor drugs is important.

    I've got some property tax stuff to vote on. Specifically, should we cut everyone's property taxes by about $100 a year, which will cause a massive shortfall in education funding.

    Don't worry though, the legislature promises they'll find that money somewhere else!

    The same Texas state legislature that is being sued by a bunch of districts for not following Constitutional funding guidelines!

    is the measure about decriminalization or about a monopoly among the dispensaries?

    Yeah. It's not the best implementation of decriminalization, but from what I hear it's not much worse than many other states' attempts at legalization.

    And, hey, anything that gets more young hippies to move to this important swing state!

    Both. There is an issue before the legalization one that will cancel it out because the wording on issue three is technically a monopoly of grow sites.

    I was surprised to see that the language on the ballot just straight up openly described itself as a monopoly

    I think that was the state attorney's office's doing.

    Like apparently people will be able to keep plants in their homes and stuff too, but they are trying to use language to scare people into voting no.


    There is also a funding bill for our local zoo, and a initiative to form a bipartisan group in charge of drawing electoral districts.

    I voted for about 9000 judges, a mayor and city council. The last two are mostly pointless though since they're decided in the primary.

    But so many judges.

    No issue 2 would go into effect first. Eliminating three entirely.

    how does one decide what judge to vote for? There are about 9000 as you said, and I don't know anything about any of them.

    and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them
    but they're listening to every word I say

    you have quickly found the problem with electing judges.

    My ballot had a "vote for three out of these 5-6 candidates for city council" line item; the other three items were unopposed offices including the mayor. No referendums or social issues to vote on.

    Pretty bland Election Day for me other than being a reminder that the Primary season will start up in a few short months.

    Oh man I dunno if I can make it to the polls. My brother had an appointment earlier and some lady in the waiting room had an pneumonia and I'm starting to feel feverish and sick.

    I dunno maybe if I leave right now I can get it done before I feel to sick to drive.
