I wouldn't put it past some individuals in California to intentionally keep people from voting, but I hope to God that they don't work for the SoS. Ha! I agree in part with your State Union workers comment, but not when it comes to teachers and firefighters, or cops, simply because I believe the effects of what they do can be seen. Especially in Los Angeles with the crime rate, the out-of-control wildfires and the decent school districts. I will say, though, that there is far too much money being spent in this state on things that do not show results, and that there should be far more oversight into what is being spent and where. The point I was trying to make is that this recent election, to me, shows that a fundamental shift in spending thought is necessary, and the best way to have that happen is to give the state legislature less control and leave more up to the people. Thanks for the comment, GHUraguchi.

I'm the same way. Now the change in polling place - is weird. I have been going to the same place for 12 years - so I go there and I'm told my place has changed. Huh? Why did 1 set of voters get sent to an another precinct and that precinct's voters get sent to mine??? That's fishy. I think these unionized government workers in the SoS's or Registrar's office purposely did that to frustrate voters intentionally - not to vote. State Union workers- teachers and firefighters included - are snakes. Right on! I’m the same way. Now the change in polling place – is weird.
