The election in CA.
« on: November 02, 2004, 09:41:14 AM »
We have the longest ballot since the 70's. All kinds of propositions for everything from stem cell research to changing the 3-strikes rules to tort reform to sick kids health care.

The Bush-Kerry thing is the easy part.

Cali always has a ton of propositions on the ballot. Texas on the other hand never has many. If they do, it's in legalise and you can't understand the real meaning of it.

My touch voting machine had 14 pages of candidates and propositions...  Still I was surprised how quickly I got through it all, good thing I read up on the props beforehand.

It's the frivioulous lawsuit propisition, but what it actually does is gut provisions of the Consumer Protection Act. It's sponsored by big business, opposed by consumer groups.

adults and juveniles convicted of any sex offense or arson offense, or an attempt to commit such an offense (not just felonies)
adults arrested for or charged with felony sex offenses, murder, or voluntary manslaughter (or the attempt to commit such offenses)
Additionally, starting in 2009:
adults arrested for or charged with any felony offense

:confused: Why not?
