I vote against all voter initiatives, no matter what they are. I also vote against all bonds, no matter what they are.

Good call.

[Peikko 1,575]

Hubby spends a lot of time researching the props. As do all my friends, most voters I know are not uninformed.

[Marilyn. 340]

my hubby took his time going over the props.... I don't remember how he voted though...

[Peikko 1,575]

I didn't ask, it's his vote. However, I was given a 'proxy' vote on prop 2

[Marilyn. 340]

my hubby wanted me to help him vote but I told him it was his decision... but he still talked some of the props over with me to get my opinion..

[Peikko 1,575]

Here's the funny thing, the proxy vote was NOT on hubby's ballot

[mawilson 2,133]

I vote against all voter initiatives, no matter what they are. I also vote against all bonds, no matter what they are.

So all they have to do is reverse the question and you will end up voting for them.

Which they have already done - if you're *against* Proposition 8, you're *for* gay marriage.

No, I still vote against the initiative, no matter what it says.

Which they have already done - if you're *against* Proposition 8, you're *for* gay marriage.

I don't care about gay marriage one way or the other. Make it legal. Make it illegal. Makes no difference to me.

[IAMX 3,055]

Right now 58% Yes for Gay Marriage Ban.

All rural counties right now.

[IAMX 3,055]

55% - 45% Yes on Ban.

San Jose just cut into the lead, and Marin County, North Bay of San Francisco.

San Francisco, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, and Los Angeles counties are the ones everyone is watching. Right now there's nothing yet on those.
