Nov 2018

a state where people voted to eliminate same sex marriage after it was made legal (2008), a state where gop governor served 8 years, a state with largest number of neo nazi groups and a number of very conservative counties. I drive less than 100 miles from SF right into trumpland. Even in a progressive state, voting is everything, especially on local level. There are right wing people trying to sneak in to smaller positions like city councils, school boards, county supervisors, etc. Always have to watch out.

60% would top presidential election years. 50% would be amazing, which is a sad commentary. Garrett78 Nov 2018 #3

why can't we have 70%+ consistently voting? AlexSFCA Nov 2018 #5

It's all about the impediments to vote. OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2018 #6
