CA Election

I know nothing of CA politics, bt I think your special election coming up tomorrow is interesting. The corrupt republican Duke Cunningham is being replaced.

I read that the democrat candidate - can't remember her name - said to a latino audience something to the effect that they don't need to be legal citizens to vote.

Yikes.

That's what she said but she clearly meant to say that you don't need papers to help out with a campaign (not necessarily lightyears better but still).

I really don't care about much in this election either. I'm inclined to vote for Schwarzenegger this time around (I didn't in the recall election) since I don't think he has done anything terrible since getting elected and has at least pushed for reform on some important issues that I don't think will be addressed by either Westley or Angelides.

I oppose the referendum and proposition process so I vote no on all of those out of principal. I don't vote on positions where I have no qualifications to decide who is better for the job (I have no idea what BART Commissioner #3 or Water Quality Board Trustee #5 do) and now that I am out in the suburbs and really don't care about local politics this creates quite a few positions where I won't be voting.

I will be filing an absentee ballot for Arizona, however, so that I can have my chance at the $1,000,000.
