Ballot

Donald Trump is pure toxicity, he tried half-seriously to end the peaceful transfer of power, he’s beyond unacceptable. We endorse native daughter of the Golden State Kamala Harris and hope that a special Providence continues to look after children, drunks, and the United States.
I put this together for my own use, perhaps it is useful to you, much cribbed from The LA Times. I’ll be voting in person in a few days so feel free to make a strong case I am open to persuasion on city, state and county measures.
Community College, Seat 1: Andra Hoffman
Community College, Seat 3: David Vela
Community College, Seat 5: Nichelle Henderson
Community College: Seat 7: Kelsey Iino
US Rep: Laura Friedman
City Measure DD: Yes
City Measure HH: Yes
City Measure II: Yes
City Measure ER: Yes
City Measure FF: Yes (on the fence here, it’s expensive, but I go with Mayor Bass)
City Measure LL: Yes
Uni Measure US: Yes
District Attorney: Nathan Hochman (both bad options here, voting to express disgust.)
It makes me a little mad that I have to vote for judges. I found this helpful.
Judge No 39: Steve Napolitano
Judge No. 48: Ericka Wiley (I don’t see anything wrong with Renee Rose)
Judge No. 97: Sharon Ransom
Judge No. 135: Steven Yee Mac (nothing wrong with Georgia Huerta)
Judge No. 137: Tracey Blount
County Measure G: Yes
County Measure A: Yes
My inclination is to vote against any state ballot propositions, it’s part of why our state is so wacky, but we exist within a context of everything that came before, so vote we must:
State Measure 2: Yes
State Measure 3: Yes
State Measure 4: Yes
State Measure 5: Yes
State Measure 6: Yes
State Measure 32: No
State Measure 33: No
State Measure 34: Yes (LA Times disagrees here)
State Measure 35: No
State Measure 36: No

I’m in Canada so I find it wild that you have so many choices to make on a ballot. Is the choice for President a separate question from the ones you have listed above?
Yes. This many choices is somewhat specific to California, and to LA, where we have a very direct democracy and lots of propositions end up on the ballot. https://stevehely.com/2024/09/15/san-francisco-politics/
