1. Pathetic

nothing more to say

[LoisB]

2. Agree. I don't understand not voting.

[Retrograde]

3. Especially since California makes it so easy

Registration forms are available at post offices and libraries, anyone can sign up for vote-by-mail, my county has expanded the number of places where you can drop off your ballot - and participation goes down every election. Bah.

Also frustrating.

6. And as a result we get

2 rethugs running for Supervisor and a County Board of Education tea bagger who is opposed to state & federal money supporting public education. She also supports 'parental choice' of schools. This was a crucial seat on the BoE because it will tilt the vote of a stalled Board.

Pathetic and disgusted.
