The only thing I dislike about voting in CA is the insane number of ballot propositions. I got through them all. Now all I have to do is drop my ballot into a ballot drop box. #Ivoted.
@sfleetucker Early-20th-century populism did a number on California's constitution. Not only can you put an initiative on the ballot with a smidgen of signatures, that initiative can, with a simple majority, *amend the state constitution.*
I believe this is known in the constitution trade as "leaving the cordless Sawzall charged up in the kids' room."
@ImagineThat and the worst one was prop 13. It's made our tax base much less stable.
@ImagineThat And while it's supposed to be populist, it's exploited by the extremely wealthy who can afford to pay to have the petition signers work crowds for suckers.
