2026 Elections

[neoplacebo]

There's three constitutional amendments on the TN ballot. I read about them on the sample ballot page on the county election website. I read the summaries of them. One of them seemed reasonable, but then I thought "hell, why would Republicans want to change the state constitution? So I decided to vote "no" on all three. You just can't trust these people.

Well, we have officially voted. Longest ballot I've ever seen, I think. After you get past the candidates you've heard of, you get a page of non-partisan keep/reject judges, along with candidates for jobs you didn't even know were jobs, like "Board of Equalization". They do put out a good voter guide, though. https://calmatters.org/california-voter-guide-2026/

There are also 14 Propositions and a couple of local Measures. I read the summaries, then schlogged through the detailed summaries, tried to read the actual text but my eyes glazed over. So I'm thinking here I am, having spent a career reading and making some occasional sense out of legalese, and I don't really understand this - yet some barely literate tru*per who can only think in slogans gets to vote too. Anyway, I voted for half of them, and against the others.

Karma. You've probably authored your share of obtuse legalese.

I also have 3. Two are GQP tax limitation amendments, one of them restricting local governments.

I'll vote against these. The third is a farmland preservation measure that a Dem candidate told me she's supporting. I'll have to look at that one and who else endorses it.

US judge orders halt to taxpayer-funded ads featuring Trump

... Manhattan-based ​US District Judge Jennifer Rochon temporarily barred the advertisements after plaintiffs including watchdog group Common Cause brought a lawsuit alleging the ads were political propaganda designed to help Republican candidates in the November 3 midterm elections, not public service announcements.

Judge Jennifer L. Rochon was appointed by Joe Biden, but she began her legal career by clerking for Dementia Don's conservative and (later) corrupt elder sister for 3 years. Irony.

... "We won't stop until this administration is held fully accountable, and no president from any party can waste and abuse ​taxpayer funds ​for propaganda ever again," said Common Cause President ​and CEO Virginia Kase Solomón....
