It always surprises me how long it takes to fill out a ballot. All the things I’ve read in order to be informed–I still have to go back to every candidate, every race, at least three sources on every ballot proposition, before I’ve got all my little ovals squiggled in because it is so important to get every one of these right.

(Whoa! That guy’s passing himself off as a Democrat and his biggest backer is the Howard Jarvis folks of Prop. 13 fame? Who never met a single tax of any amount for any purpose that they didn’t want repealed? And he’s running for the Board of Equalization? We have a new subcategory of chutzpah.)

Thank you CalMatters for your summaries.

Eight ballot pages.

It was a privilege.
