Election 2016

That is kind of nice. I hadn't even considered the possibility that some of HRC's leaked emails might make her more likable.

Although the bitch did misspell the girl's fucking name

Anyone voting on any interesting ballot initiatives or referendums this year?

We have seven but none are interesting. Question 1 is about opening a casino, which I could not care less about. Question 2 is a very, very small change to the state legislature's ethics commission. Then the other 5 are all borrowing issues (port revitalization, education, etc etc).

We had four. Two were boring, one was related to medical marijuana, and there was one interesting one: Should the county impose a tax levy to put about $20M into upgrading the local jail cells and court house. I struggled a lot with this one, but ultimately decided no -- the money is probably better spent on public improvements to keep people out of the jail cells and court houses, rather than pampering those who wind up there. But I still don't feel 100% about my decision...

Why don't you care about the casino question? That's a big one.

Saying "I couldn't care less" isn't the best way to express it, I guess. I probably should have said: "I feel torn by both sides so I don't really care if it passes or not." It'd probably bring in a lot of tax money, but I don't like how casinos prey on addicts. Even though we're a small state, it's not really close to me--there's actually already a casino 15 miles in either direction from my house--so I wouldn't feel all NIMBY if I voted "no."

And, yeah, that question up in MT would grind my gears too, trag. How about $20m for mental healthcare initiatives?

Hey, remember when Trump said (multiple times) that he doesn't know Putin and never met Putin?

I'm voting Yes, No, No, Yes in Mass.

The good people of California have decided that everything worthwhile must be a constitutional amendment via voter proposition. I'm not sure why we have a legislature anymore. At this point it would make more sense to go to a Swiss direct democracy approach.

So now an Anonymous splinter group has hacked the law firm representing that woman.

This must be very much akin to what it feels like to live on the Battlestar Galactica.

No shit? Her name isn't shielded?

I assume McP is talking about the woman who accused Trump if raping her when she was 13.

Oh. The name of the law firm representing her (a patent lawyer IIRC) isn't shielded, so they gotta know they will be target for the anti-trump crowd. Maybe businesses will start taking cybersecurity seriously after all this.

I get to vote on whether the bar on the corner of my block can sell liquor on Sundays. It's very exciting.

This is the first compelling reason I've heard to vote this year.
