Unless you read deeply about any proposition vote no.
After reading Tom McClintock’s excellent,succinct run-down on his web site of each of these 22 Props on the ballot — I ended with 19 No’s and 3 Yes’s. Give him a look.
Unless you know the stats behind repeat offenders you will vote NO on this proposition. Start your education. The first 2 will require basic math skills as they only do 45% of the prison population so you will have to extrapolate out to 100%, it’s easy enough to do 90% as you just double it. The second one is the only one done. What is not a part of the stats is the 11 month 29 day facilities, where the offender of minor felonies commit 20-50 felonies, and the recidivism rate is 85%. Serve time is 90 days mostly on the weekends if possible. DUI is the most common.

Read every single proposition carefully and dissect it it critically; sometimes NO can MEAN YES.
They are deliberately written that way to fool the uninformed.
You are absolutely right. CA is a state of complete flaming morons who would approve any proposition whatsoever as long as it is touted as “for the children” or “for better education. Every tax, every bond measure, every fee increase. The propositions are ALWAYS written in deceptive language (at minumum, “no” means “yes”) and it is a complete and total fraud exercise. Every new revenue raise in CA one way or another is destined for union and state worker pensions. Period.
