You Have to Vote!
With so many important California matters on the ballot, everybody needs to vote. Even if you are hearing anything about the presidential race, Obama is not enough! Please go out and vote for the propositions: Yes: 1A, 2, 3, 5 &12. No: 4, 6 – 11.
Vote for the legislature, vote for your local elected offices. Also, please [rec this dKos diary Yes: 1A, 2, 3, 5 &12. No: 4, 6 – 11] that has a similar message.
VOTE!
[UPDATE by Julia] No on 8 leadership is worried. Key voting locations are deserted. Go drag everyone you know to the polls. Put down the laptop and go call your friends and knock on your neighbor’s doors.
LA County Turnout Ridiculously Huge
LA County does not turn out that heavily. In the June primary it was abysmal. But today, people wanted to be a part of history. Dean Logan, the registrar of voters, is saying that they could break the record of 81% turnout county-wide. That would be an enormous achievement, and good for progressives.
Here’s a reminder to all LA County voters: if you are in line by 8:00pm, you will be allowed to vote. That is current law and you need to make sure it is enforced. Some pollworkers may want to shoo you out, but you can vote if you’re in line by 8.
Why, We’re Getting Out The Vote
This is at one of Debbie Cook’s offices in Orange County:
You can help. There are still close to four hours until the polls close. I hear turnout is up in LA County and down a touch in Orange County. We can beat Dana Rohrabacher.
