Yeah, I had the same feeling. For the first time, I actually skipped voting on a few of the offices

No that's going on the November ballot. Like all props ought to until we can do away with this system entirely.

I have no remorse about not voting for specific things if I don't care.

I honestly don't care who is mayor of my town. So I don't vote for it. Same for Seat #3 on the Dippity **** Stream and Management Conservation Regional Tallyhoo Board.

I only voted for governor, lt governor and the house/senate people. I don't care about local representation.

Yay Gavin Newsom!

He won for, what primary again? Deputy AG? Lt. Governor? I forget.

I'm just glad the two corporate-shill ballot measures I loathed went down in flames.

But sheesh, even though there was NO ONE at my polling place when I got there, and my name is easy to find as one of the LAST in the alphabet, it took them over 10 minutes to get me my ballot. Not exactly the crack team for the primaries, eh?

Ghoulish Delight · 06-09-2010, 03:56 PM

Lt. Governor. I still wish he were running for governor, but he was probably smart to step out of the way of the Jerry Brown steamroller.

I was the first in line at my polling place, where apparently most of the workers called in sick. There was only one lady there when I arrived 5 minutes before it opened, a 2nd showed up at 6:59. They announced, 'The poll is open...but we have no idea what we're doing."

It then took about 5 minutes to find my name and get the computer to spit out my #. Hopefully my vote actually counted.

As the first there, I did get to be the one to validate that the ballot box was empty, and then seal it. That was nifty.

Having experienced him somewhat directly as mayor, while I agree that he's on the right side of social issues, I haven't seen anything to make me look forward to him being governor. Between him and Jerry Brown I'd probably take Brown.

Fortunately Lt. Governor don't mean anything so I'm fine with him there. Plus I have to imagine that former mayors of Oakland and San Francisco being #1 and #2 would make tea partiers weep.
