@davidrkadler@anotherSmith5 This sort of situation was bound to happen eventually. Policies became too permissive leading to these extended vote counting times which actually undermine people’s faith in the electoral process. There is no reason to allow vote by mail up until Election Day.
I’m incredibly honored that voters have given us the opportunity to advance to the general election for Mayor of Los Angeles.
To the thousands of supporters who knocked doors, made calls, sent texts, donated, and opened their homes for events across the city, and to everyone else who made this moment possible: thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Now our fight for a healthier, safer, more affordable, and more joyful Los Angeles continues. For too long, City Hall has prioritized giving political advantage to powerful interests that fund elections. Meanwhile, working people pay the price in higher rents, depleted services, and a city that has stopped working for them.
If you’re as frustrated by the broken status quo as I am, I hope you’ll join our movement to build a city that works for everyone.
@Elex_Michaelson@LACountyRRCC@CNNTheStoryIs Yes, we should reform the rules within reason. The time it takes has further lessened trust in our electoral process. We need to limit vote by mail to the week prior, and only allow pre-filled ballots to be dropped off at voting centers to be counted in person and immediately.
“The students who cannot read a 20-page article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill, or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow.”
A bunch of accounts (including ones saying they’re Republicans) posting the same pic of a ballot for Becerra. Very cool, very normal Election Day behavior.
RAND just dropped the most comprehensive study yet of Measure ULA.
High-value transactions 31%🔽. Apartment production 30%🔽. Buildings that sold passed the tax through to tenants as higher rents. ~$452M in lost revenue to city, county & schools. ~16,000 construction jobs lost.
