I’m now registered as a permanent vote-by-mail voter, and I recently received my ballot for the March California Primary. And that means it is time to start doing the detailed ballot analysis. This is where, for most contests, I examine each candidate and share my conclusions, and invite you to convince me to vote for the other jerk.
Because this is a long ballot, I’m splitting it into a few chunks:
- The Presidential Primary
- The Congressional, State and Local Offices
- Judicial Offices
- Ballot Measures
- Summary (this post)
This part provides a summary of my ballot analysis results. Please read the full explanation of why I chose who I chose in the links above.
