smeadI voted last night. I really love being a permanent absentee voter as it fits my temperament perfectly. In fact, I first voted absentee as a senior in high school and I've never even been to a polling place.
After reading through the ballot measures, I was curious what the various political parties had to say. So I went to the California websites for the Democrats, Republicans, and Libertarians (my registered party) and read through their positions/arguments. Unsurprisingly, the Democrats and Republicans disagreed on every proposition. The Libertarians agreed with the Republicans on six measures, agreed with the Democrats on one measure, and abstained from one measure. In this particular election, I sided more often with the Democrats, which I kind of consider my backup party.
