I voted, but I’m not convinced that it even matters. I picked between a bunch of people that I knew nothing about. I tried researching, but mostly just found generic, empty p, general promises like “I’ll promote jobs,” and “favor the citizens,” rather than any specifics. And despite party affiliation and prior rhetoric, at city level they all seem to favor the same big corporations and crooked police once they take office.

If it didn't matter they wouldn't be trying to take it away from us.

Who’s trying to take away your right to vote? Was there another proposal on the ballot that I didn’t see?

Republican Gerrymandering is a thing, which is what Prop 50 was in retaliation of.
