Agreed, why do you get to vote twice? If you vote "No" just record it and toss the second part. Seems to me the "No" voters will help Bustamecha.

BTW: What are the two ballot initiatives again? 53 and 54? What are they about?

One is to increase the budget for infrastructure from 1% to 3%. According to Bill Handel on KFI the budget used to be 20% for roads, bridges etc. Now it's 1%. So, this would increase it to a badly needed 3%. A yes vote is recommended. My husband is in construction - bidding jobs to retrofit bridges for earthquakes and says CA is badly in need of infrastructure $$. Handel also said he was voting yes.
Maybe someone else can explain the next one to you better than I can.
