2016 General Election

1.  President and Vice President
Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka
They're the closest parties on the issues that I care about.  I know that voting for them is more or less like a throw-away vote, but there are three main reasons:  a) I can't in good conscience vote for anyone else, b) I live in California and our electoral votes are 99% likely to go to Clinton no matter who I vote for, and c) If the Green Party gets up to 5% in votes, they qualify for federal funding and I can help with that.

2.  Senator
Kamala Harris
Of the two, I don't agree perfectly with either, but overall, I think Loretta Sanchez is more of a corporatist than Kamala Harris.

3.  Representative
Ro Khanna
Doesn't take big donor money, supports a lot of socialist agenda, etc whereas Mike Honda seems like a long time politician with large ties to the current establishment.

4.  State Assembly
Kansen Chu
Not even a question.  The other option is a Republican.

5.  Board of Education and Onwards
Not voting
I am not involved enough or have enough information to form any sort of opinion

State Measures
51.  Yes - I'm actually right in the middle.  This could have been written a lot better.  There's no guarantee that the schools that really need it will get it.  And only about half of the dollar spent on this will actually do anything....  But it's something.  Better than nothing I guess.
52.  Yes - Medicare is good.
53.  Yes - the arguments for them are great, the arguments against are crap.  We're just putting large bonds to a vote, why would putting things up to a public vote ever be bad in a true democracy?
54.  Yes - The transparency would be great.  Last minute changes to bills can't happen before a vote.  Not sure why having a recording of legislative proceedings would hinder anything if there is nothing to be ashamed of.
55.  Yes - Not enough, but still yes.
56.  No - Not on e-cigs.  Not enough research done to equivocate e-cigs with regular cigs.
57.  Yes - Nonviolent crimes in general shouldn't have long prison sentences.  It's the first step.
58.  Yes - like why not?!
59.  Yes - one step in the right direction
60.  No - they're already super safe.  adding condoms actually deteriorates actress's health.
61.  Yes - here's to hoping things will work out.  Also Bernie is for it.
62 and 66.  Yes then no.  Repeal death penalty, not make it quicker.
63.  Yes - duh
64.  Yes - long overdue
65 and 67.  Yes on both.  Let's see who wins out.  Although I'm for the plastic bag ban, I'm also against the stores promoting sale of one-time use bags for profit.  I'm for reusable items in general.

Local Measures
A - Yes - affordable housing is necessary to help the underprivileged
B - Yes - BART finally, half percent tax is really not much, and better transportation overall both private through cars and highways and public through BART and caltrain.
O - Yes - More money for the mayor and council members will mean more attention to the ongoings of the district.
P - Yes - Term limits for those in power is good for democracy.
Q - No - 4/5 is really much.  3/5 would make more sense but this really sounds like a power play.  Like someone was really butthurt about a vote that didn't go their way.
R - Yes - More transparency and more democracy.  Public voting is better than city council voting on what to do with public land.
