Election integrity and the Great State of California

I can think of several interesting moments in recent history pertaining to statewide issue voting in California
that really make me go Hmmm.
Municipal power for SF in the wake of the "California Electricity Crisis" (a statewide crisis EXCEPT in municipal power grids)
Just about everything surrounding Arnold Schwarzenegger (a related factor, ultimately. He did diminish the punitive fines, correct?)
and the truly aborted recount over Prop 37

but never mind those individual examples of shady and unexpected results, its all a matter of perspective and presumption.

what are your impressions of California's current election integrity?
