I just completed my California ballot and voted NO on Prop 27 which would legalize online gambling in the state. It's too much temtation for my son who said he won't gamble even if he fancy's himself a sports expert.
What is the big race or ballot measure where you live (local OR statewide).

Nguyens campaign for secretary of state is grounded in access, equity, efficiency, references to the voting reforms enacted during Raffenspergers tenure that some Georgians argue fosters voter suppression. Nguyen was among the lawmakers to challenge the signature match absentee ballot verification process, which was removed following the 2020 election. She was also a vocal defender of Georgias election integrity in the face of Trumps fraud claims.

Nguyens victory in a runoff made her the first Asian American woman in the Georgia General Assembly. But Nguyen (pronounced win) vaulted to national prominence in December 2020 when a video of her methodical and public takedown of election fraud claims by Trump allies went viral. [snip]
Since announcing her bid last year, Nguyen has racked up national endorsements, including the support of the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State and EMILYs List, the influential Democratic political committee that backs female abortion-rights candidates.
This month, EMILYs List gave her the Gabrielle Giffords Rising Star Award, named for the former Arizona Democratic congresswoman and gun-safety advocate. Previous honorees include Abrams.
And just days before the primary, Atlantas Mayor Andre Dickens, who scored an upset in last years elections, added his backing.

(10,150 posts)dialysis has been on the ballot several times over the last few years and I can never make sense of what the propositions do or don't do. I vote "No" and tell my assemblyperson to do their job.

Good enough for me.

Prop 3 will pass.
