The democrats are up in the air on another issues, tsk, tsk. See handling fraudulent ballots isn't as easy as it was made to seem.

Don't take this wrong but why are people voting YES on Prop 53?
Prop 53 mandates that 3% of the budget is spent on infrastructure projects.
Why should it be mandated? It should be budgeted for by the legislature, not mandated. A mandate is just another item in the budget that can't be cut when cuts need to be made.
Am I mistaken?

I got to my polling place about 6:58, and was 20th in line. The guy in front of me was there with his Dad, and was getting a provisional ballot. He'd moved away and reregistered by mail, and never got a samle ballot. He'd also applied for absentee, and didn't get that ballot either. So he would have been voting provisional at his old site, but L.A. had condensed five sites, including mine, into this one church across the street from the doughnut shop. Much confusion for him. I saw one other provisional ballot while I was there. One of the pollworkers said at 7:01, as we were lining up to be verified in the registry, that there were more voters then in the room than there had been for the last election all day. By the time I got into the booth, there were probably 50 people lined up. I voted: Yes on Recall and removal of Gray Davis from office Tom McClintock for Governor Yes on 53 Yes on 54 Yes on Cambodian doughnuts.

A lack of Yes votes would mean no recall ... I know that. I am wondering how a single ballot is tallied, where neither "Yes" nor "No" is selected. Does that ballot represent a voter, or is it thrown away as "not having voted" with respect to the recall?

Great... you split the GOP vote; might as well both have voted for Bustamante.
Muchas gracias!
To: sandyeggo
Interesting point;
all I can say is that I did not notice it on sample but it was very noticeable on the real ballot.

Title: Doughnuts
Categories:
Yield: 1 Servings
3 Eggs
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 c Sweet milk
1/2 ts Salt
3 tb Butter; melted
2 ts Cream of tartar
1 ts Baking soda
ds Nutmeg
Grated lemon peel
Flour
Beat eggs well and add sugar, mixing well. Add milk, salt, butter, cream of tartar and baking soda. Beat well. Flavor with nutmeg and lemon. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Roll out about 1/2" thick and cut with a double cutter or two different size biscuit cutters. Let doughnuts dry for about 10 minutes before frying in hot fat.

These are even better when sprinkled with a little powdered sugar.

Maybe somebody else here knows. The CA SecState website (old material, talks about getting signatures to trigger a recall election) talks about "Yes" representing a majority of voters. If each ballot represents a voter, then the default is "No," i.e., "NO" is counted even if the person does not punch the "NO" chad, and a YES vote requires an affirmative act on the part of the voter.
Thanks for your input -- best of luck to you and everybody else in the great sate of California.

Thanks.
All you have to do is look at the supporters of Prop 53 to figure out what's going on. It's all labor unions...

I am not saying I would support that proposition (I am not in California). But I am not sure that it is as bad an idea as first impression would give. Infrastructure gets neglected too often, as politicians make cuts elsewhere to curry favor with various special interest groups. And that money being earmarked for infrastructure takes it off the table for Democrat redistribution schemes.

I decided to answer their little questionaire with the following:
"You people are performing a great service to the public - pointing out that the Democrats of California are as incapable of figuring out how to vote as those in Florida."

But then, one can generally tell if something is a bad idea by who supports it...
