California: Smoking Mad About Prop 86

I stopped to drop off a carton of cigarettes for a disabled veteran at a nursing home. They have a bleak area outside where they can enjoy a cigarette at fixed intervals. He was reading an absentee ballot about Proposition 86.

He said, “This is crazy! We can’t afford $70 for a carton of cigarettes. That’s the most prejudiced, hateful proposition I ever read.”

What I really thought was, the trail of their whole life is littered with their victims. If they could eliminate every smoker on earth, they would just channel another fanatical, inflictive vendetta. It’s their drug of choice. They can’t quit.

Kind of late to be having the primary, isn't it? :)

In Los Angeles county: Proposition H [as in Hell no!]

Would you like a parcel tax added on to your property tax bill? If so, vote yes on Prop H. You'll not only get to pay for your own housing, but you'll get to subsidize the housing of others.

Prop. H Stands For Housing, Tax Hike On Property

To win, the measure must secure two-thirds of the vote, making Proposition H a test of whether affordable housing has become a top priority of local voters.

The largest individual contribution, $200,000, came from Jerry Perenchio, the reclusive Univision founder who is one of the largest political donors in the nation.

San Diego Election Results

• The first bulletin on election night will be released just after 8 p.m. and consist of the absentee ballots voted on paper that have been signature verified and prepared for tabulation.

• The second bulletin will be at approx. 10 p.m. and will consist of absentee ballots cast on the touchscreens at the Registrar’s office during the 29-day voting period. (This will be cumulative; including the results of the first bulletin.)

• Precinct results will appear on the third bulletin at 10:30 and then every 30 minutes after that. (Again, cumulative; including results from the first two bulletins.) If it is important for you to know the absentee results later, then you should print out the first and second bulletins before the precinct totals show up.

• Precinct-by-precinct totals will be available a day or two after the election. Please call before you come to the Registrar’s looking for them. It will be a few thousand pages and we might wait until after one or two of the add-on counts, just so they are more complete. The final precinct results will be available after the election is certified; no later than December 5. A certified copy will be mailed to each jurisdiction with candidates or propositions on the ballot.
