I'd prefer slow counting with paper ballots over fast counting with electronic voting machines. Trust is way more important than speed or efficiency here. And electronic voting machines wouldn't do anything to speed up mail-in ballots anyway.

that said, how much power does superintendent of public education actually have? I honestly don't really know much about what poo poo like Insurance Commisioner or Superintendent actually does, and what they can gently caress up alone.

I honestly don't really know much about what poo poo like Insurance Commisioner or Superintendent actually does, and what they can gently caress up alone. Insurance Business Magazine posted:In California, the Department of Insurance is particularly large. The 1,300-employee department licenses and regulates roughly 325,000 agents and hundreds of insurance companies. It also works to fight fraud, enforces state laws and regulations and resolve insurance-related complaints from the public. CalWatchDog posted:For instance, the California Supreme Court issued a Jan. 23 ruling in a case that challenged the insurance commissioner’s authority to issue rules governing how insurance companies calculate replacement-cost estimates for homeowners’ policies. The trial and appeals courts ruled the commissioner exerted power not granted to him by the Legislature, but the high court overruled those decisions. Insurance Commissioner is huge and it's a big deal that Poznier is going down. EdSource posted:The state superintendent runs the Department of Education. The department: As is Superintendent. This is not where you want a charter school shill like Tuck.

What harm does taking a few days longer cause? Even if it took an extra month, I don't see how that hurts anything. Draging it out damages legitimacy.

Assembly District Election Meetings are coming up in January, is anyone here planning on trying to run? If you get elected, you get to vote as an Assembly District Delegate at the state party convention in Sacramento. Bernie delegates ran a lot of the tables last time two years ago, I missed getting on by like four votes. I'm going to give it another shot this year I think.

Woof it is tense waiting on all these random CA house race results to come in. Basically all the candidates I donated to who actually won did so following an apparent election night loss. This is good in that it seems like I donated to places where it matters, but it definitely makes things way more stressful while you wait.

dont be mean to me posted:So do you wait until all the mail-in ballots are in, or do you disenfranchise mail-in voters? Ok, count all the votes on the day that they are recieved. All counting should be done by the end of the last day mail ballots are recieved. That is three days post election day, IIRC.

Charlz Guybon posted:Ok, count all the votes on the day that they are recieved. All counting should be done by the end of the last day mail ballots are recieved. That is three days post election day, IIRC. So, rather than running tallies of the votes, you want the results all revealed at once, even if it still has to be days or weeks after the election is over. That, or you're insisting that the votes not be counted until every single vote is in, then all those votes counted at once and the results revealed after that. The first of these is personal preference and not something to change the laws or process over, and only idiots and insincere assholes think that counting mail-in votes that arrive in the mail after the date voting itself ends because they were, you know, mailed, and that takes a while to happen, delegitimizes elections. The second is so stupid I'm not even going to bother addressing it in detail, it's just doing things extremely inefficiently for dumb reasons.

I know anything that touches taxes requires a super majority, but I don't know how handcuffed the legislature is by Prop 13 in regards to the taxes we really need to raise at the moment. Repeal Costa Hawkins and Ellis Act Can a Dem supermajority overturn the 2/3 requirement for tax and budget increases?
