No matter what happens I dont think it will be accurate to extrapolate the results to a national level because of the idiotic jungle primary. Thanks to Schwarzenegger for that.

(4,516 posts)So many people vote by mail now and any ballot post marked today will be counted.
My guess it will days before we know the outcome of the House races.
There are too many Dem candidates I think. I didnt recognize many names and they are listed alphabetical so you need to know who you want to vote for to pick them out of the list.
Low information voters may pick any name they see or skip a item if they dont see someone they know.
Also in my area there are a lot mailers which I think are just propaganda and not informational.

(10,164 posts)Schwarzenegger pushed for it (as a bribe to get his lt. gov. to agree to push his budget through the state legislature) but it was put on the ballot and and a majority of voters said yes. Now to get rid of it will require another ballot initiative.
