gently caress Nunes, but I don't it should be understated how amazing that Hunter number is. The correct take there is "holy poo poo a Palestinian is within striking distance in that district."

Is this all voters, or likely voters?

regardless, everything within like 4% is a statistical tie because of sampling errors.

It does look like Nunes is going to win, though if it's a likely voter projection, enthusiasm may massively swing into the formulas this particular pollster is using to adjust their raw numbers.

It's also worth pointing out the two polls (listed here) put Nunes up by 8 or 14 points, I suspect it's actually the same 8 point poll there in which case it's actually possibly as much as 14 points lead.

Really though 8 points is not a very comfortable lead given turnout in midterms can swing by a lot. Midterm polling in general is hard.

from what i read a lot of the closeness can be attributed to rohrabacher has a longstanding constituency among shithead hardliner old guard vietnamese refugees, and his district includes a good chunk of westminster/garden grove/fountain valley

Sadly That's Politics. Basically it's insanely easy for moneyed interests just to buy signatures with misleading information and enough bugging people. Throw on a misleading enough title that's enticing to the mushy brained boombers, since you just need enough people to vote on title, and cha-ching! Easy pass.

There are still sometimes decent propositions even outside of moneyed interests. At least this year, Prop 1, 7, 10, 12 are all pretty good. I agree with Pete's overall assessment http://www.peterates.com/props-1118.shtml, although I disagree with him on 8 I think. He claims it'll cause clinics to close, but sometimes poo poo has to get worse to get better if that does happen. I'll have to do more research myself but I'm still quite leaning towards yes.

I still love the absolute steaming dump that Xavier Becerra pulled over 6, it's loving great. I wish he could have done the same to 11 :sigh:

Does anyone have good resources on where to learn more about the District 1 justices that are up on the ballot this year?

Specifically, I want to know more about James Richman & Peter Siggins (both appointed by Schwarzenegger), and Barbara Jones (can't find who appointed her).

I'm leaning towards No on Richman & Siggins because they're GOP appointed, but I want to make sure.

It's super hard to find any sort of mention of the judicial candidates at all - been looking them up on http://www.courts.ca.gov and looking for indications of their career arc - public defender good, appointed by Brown ok, GOP chief of staff not great, etc.

Spite option: you could look them up on judgevoterguide.com and vote the opposite since it's created by some conservative shitheel who hates ~judicial activism~

It is a fair amount of work, but you can go to http://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions-slip.htm?Courts=A or http://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions-nonpub.htm?Courts=A for the appropriate district and get a listing of cases. Not all judges hear all cases, but you can pretty quickly open the pdf and search for their names to find ones they did rule on. Then you can read it and decide if you think they're being sane.

(The one case I found for Richman in 30 secs of checking was him ruling that a trial court judge who improperly prompted the prosecutor to ask about some specific elements of a crime was a harmless error and the conviction should stand. The case was about a guy who rammed his truck into a women who turned him down for a date, then fled the scene and led the police on a chase. The question was about a forward facing red lamp specifically vs generic "lights and siren" for establishing the evading police charge (http://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/nonpub/A152474.PDF). You probably want to find something more controversial to base your opinion on)

Voting yes means chickens are required to be cage free. This greatly impacts the price (and quality) of the egg. Imma vote no, cuz early in my life I had first hand experience with chickens and they are hateful creatures who should be locked up. Also eggs are already expensive enough.

Alternatively you should vote yes because we have the resources to both treat Chickens in a humane manner and not charge so much for eggs that lower income households can't afford them, greedy shitfuck agribusiness moguls not withstanding.

To concentrate chicken pop as we have been you must debeak ever single chicken in the pens. This is extremely painful for the birds and not having pinpoint accuracy when eating means a lot of feces is ingested aswell as feed. Its not just about cage free but all the other things you have to do to keep the chicken from killing each other due to the tight quarters. Vote yes today.

I find something bleak about there being a proposition meant to ensure the health and happiness of every chicken (and as Raskolnikov38 points out, it's a good idea) in the state but there's gently caress all legislation with the same scope for human beings.

I had the same reaction when the state passed both Prop 8 and that massive animal welfare proposition in the same election.

if homeless people shat out an egg every day they'd all have nice comfy 4' by 4' by 2' cages to spend their lives in

a yes on prop 12 sets physical dimension requirements for cages and pens instead of the vague "is able to stand and extend limbs" that the old proposition used. so a yes would be for bigger cages and pens
