So, because I like to think that my vote will be counted, I'm going permanent absentee voter this year. I've got my ballot in my hot little hand, and I'm all keyed up to vote and get this thing out the door. Only problem is that I have no idea how to vote, especially on the ballot initiatives. There won't be any discussions about this in the local papers or on "Life & Times" any time soon. I already know not to pay any attention to the pro and con arguments that come in my voter guide. So why not turn the quibbling over to my fellow Kossians?
Here's how it will work: I'll post a comment for each initiative that provides the summary in the sample ballot. Then I'll enter two comments for each summary. One will be for pro arguments, one for con. Feel free to provide links, arguments, or tasty lo-cal chicken recipes. If this works out, I'll do the same for the other hairy part of the ballot: judges. Granted, that'll be local to Los Angeles, but I'm sure there are enough Angelenos here to toss in an opinion or two.
Chocks away!
