Tell Gavin Newsom what you think of his scheme to “save democracy” by rigging the district lines for California Congressional seats.

Polls will be open until 8:00 PM on Tuesday, November 4. Theoretically, mailed ballots with a November 4 date stamp will be counted. If your only choice is to mail your ballot, then by all means get it sent in.

The better approach would be to take the ballot that was mailed to you to the polling place listed on that ballot mailer and cast it in person. Technically, you are allowed to take your ballot to any polling place, including the County Clerk office in the County Administration building in downtown San Luis Obispo. While you are at it, offer to take your friends’ and neighbors’ completed ballots to the polling place. If they can’t get there in person, you are allowed to deliver them.

If you are registered to vote, but have not received a ballot, please contact t he San Luis Obispo Clerk/Recorder by clicking on this link: Elections and Voting or call (805) 781-5000. They can answer any questions you have, including where to find your polling place.

By now, every California voter should have received their Proposition 50 special election ballot. That Prop 50 is unfair, undemocratic and tragically expensive has already been established. Whether voters will be fooled by the lies and misrepresentations from the Yes campaign remains to be seen.

Please take the 30 seconds required to fill out your ballot and encourage family and friends to do the same.

There are still opportunities to help defeat Prop 50. The two GOP headquarters listed below are running get out the vote programs and will be thrilled to have your help.

If you are registered to vote, but have not received a ballot, please contact The San Luis Obispo Clerk/Recorder by clicking on this link: Elections and Voting or call (805) 781-5000.

If you plan to vote in person at a balloting location, please verify the address of your polling location as listed on your ballot. Many precincts have had consolidations for polling place locations, so your usual spot may have changed.

Governor Newsom and his legislative friends have invested between two hundred million and three hundred million of our tax dollars to try to fool voters into supporting a rigged election scheme where politicians get to draw their own heavily partisan districts.

Cast your ballot to show Newsom what you think of his scheme.
