4. You just ruined my day
I have to start looking at those. Things were so much simpler when I only voted in Cook County.

Inconceivable. How does that WORK?

11. I am still trying to figure that out.
Apparently they recycle numbers, unless a prop gets passed, then they retire it. For example Proposition 13 is related to our property taxes. That proposition got passed a long time ago, so now they cannot reuse that number.

17. I got the voters guide AND the voters guide supplement
The Voter's guide had props 91-93 in it and the supplement (which came a week later) had 94-97 (the Indian Gaming props) in it.

Prop 91 is making my head explode.

19. FYI, in the guide, the Vote no on the gaming props is being funded by Las Vegas
if that helps any.

21. Well, it hurts Las Vegas a lot if Indian gaming increases in CA!
Far less reason to drive 4 hours to get there.
