Anyone have a link to any reliable polling on Prop 6 and 8?

Depending on which newspaper I am reading online Prop 6 is either dead in the water or surging ahead in the polls.

Ballotpedia per usual: https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_6,_Voter_Approval_for_Future_Gas_and_Vehicle_Taxes_and_2017_Tax_Repeal_Initiative_(2018)

SurveyUSA is showing up, everybody else is showing down.

(Measure polling is never that great honestly)

Yeah don't trust polls on propositions. SurveyUSA for example is usually considered to be a solid pollster but a 58/29 spit is asinine.

The no campaign managed to drum up a lot of noise and has run a very strong campaign, so I have my hopes up that it'll get derailed. The ones I'm legit worried about passing are 5 and 11.

do you have an ethnic or black looking name or more of a WASPy kind of name

Ethnic foreigner looking but I’m white

The signatures seriously look nothing alike so they must not be checking against my license.

No they can't see your face when they look at your signature, but they can decide to give white-looking names more of a pass than black-looking or ethnic names. Which is just one of several reasons why the signature verification thing various states are doing is horseshit.

I just renewed my drivers license so my ballot signature was accepted without issue this time.

Back in June they initially rejected it but then accepted it.

The signature-based rejection process was ruled unconstitutional in March so if there's a problem you should in theory be getting contacted and provided a chance to explain/fix the issue. Whether that's actually getting followed or not is of course another story, but if anybody gets their ballot rejected feel free to raise holy hell over it.

No I mean my name looks nonwhite but I am and look white. Anyway I hope no one has any problems this go-around. I’m not sure I would have any recourse if my ballot wasn’t counted for that reason but the ruling posted above hopefully made it better this year.

10 nobody knows what will happen either way
11 is bad

Pete rates the props is right on every issue except Prop 8, which you should absolutely vote Yes on because gently caress these leeches who just couldn't find the money to pay employees and keep clinics up to code but also somehow found over $100M to oppose the measure.

8 isn't bad if you ever get sick, it's actually good because the dialysis clinic you go to won't be skimming as much money as possible off the government dole provided for your healthcare and it will actually go towards treating you

Yeah the government already covers dialysis we just let people make as much money off it as possible on top of what the government covers and also they can give you bad advise that will make them more money but kill you quicker.

They sent my gf a postcard and she had to go to County offices at the civic center to verify... I guess I'm glad they cleared it up, but what a pain in the rear end for anybody who works during office hours or doesn't live nearby.
Signatures aren't used as often as they used to be, so to expect them to act as a consistent personal icon seems silly to me.

I don't like the results I'm seeing so far... luckily it is just Merced, Placer, Napa, and Stanislaus. Not exactly a good cross section of our population.

I really hope 6,8,10, & 11 flip.
