Map: Proposition 4 vs Proposition 8

Posted by: drivelocity In: Politics

I’m not going to begin to speculate on why some people voted for Proposition 8 (gay marriage ban) and voted against Proposition 4 (parental notification). But I was curious about how people voted in the Sacramento region… SacBee.com published maps showing how people voted for each proposition. I took both maps and overlapped them to [...]

10 California High Speed Rail Questions Answered

Posted by: drivelocity In: Politics

California is in the midst of a budget crisis, and Schwarzenegger is proposing state worker furloughs and tax increases. So what do Californians do? The slight majority votes Yes for Proposition 1A, a multibillion dollar project that may, if we’re lucky, show some kind of return. It looks like the total cost will be around [...]

More Thoughts on Proposition 8

Posted by: drivelocity In: Politics

A local GLBT blog, HahAtHome.com, has had a lot to say about Proposition 8 and its passage. Below is my response to the following comment that I thought was worth sharing.

Lori’s right, this isn’t about Mormons. And anyway, I have just realized the smack-down PROOF that Prop 8 is a complete joke and nothing short [...]

Proposition 8 Passed

Posted by: drivelocity In: Politics

McCain Concedes at 8:20!

25% of Sac Co. Voters Have Voted Already!

Posted by: drivelocity In: Politics

I am an absentee voter, though this is the first year that, as far back as I can remember, I’ve mailed in my ballot. Usually, there are some issues I’m not sure of until the last minute, or I’m lazy.

It All Comes Down to This!

Posted by: drivelocity In: Politics

I’m giddy… I had trouble falling asleep last night… If things aren’t decided tonight, I may not sleep at all! I am that anxious that something will go terribly wrong. I’m going to be glued to various news sources today, driving myself nuts, even though I know it won’t be until later tonight that we’ll [...]

How to Report Voting Problems & Fraud

Posted by: drivelocity In: Politics

Voter suppression and manipulation has been running rampant this election. One non-partisan group, the Election Protection Coalition, reports nearly 90,000 calls from across the country. Instances of registration tampering and rejection as well as vote switching on electronic voting machines are being documented. You would think that after we saw much of the same thing [...]

  • Russell: Domains by Proxy (DBP) is ideal to publish hate sites as long as you don't use your real name. Somebody has done that to me - and DBP don't care.
