To Slay the Mighty Gerrymander
It is the eve of election day, and I'm putting up a post I wrote three weeks ago. It's about as good a way to defibrillate my blog as any.
Actually, it isn't. Practically nobody would seem to give a bat's ass about Proposition 20. I would probably do better to talk about Proposition 19, the most newsworthy and groundbreaking ballot measure up for California in November. And rest assured, I have opinions on that. But they are neither inventive or interesting. Truth be told, I'm most excited about Proposition 21, which would give me a great excuse to spend more time on Mount Diablo. But again, that's about the depth of my interest there. I doubt I could go on at great length on that subject.
No, instead I suppose I'll prattle on about Proposition 20. Which, to a more casual observer, holds little interest save possibly for odd timing which places it on the same ballot as Proposition 27. Both measures seek to enact mutually exclusive provisions; only one can pass. And in the event that both are approved by voters, only the one with the most votes will become law.
It's a fun twist, but even this isn't what I'm interested in here.
