a little megathread for this seems useful. what’s on your ballot folks? are you going out to vote today or have you already voted? if you haven’t or are interested in what significant elections are taking place today, Bolts Magazine has its yearly cheat sheet.
I’m in TX with a whole bunch of constituents amendments on the ballot. Never too optimistic about making a difference in such a conservative state, and particularly annoyed the only thing that could have a positive effect on our failing electric grid is a tax incentive for natural gas 🤮.
The only prop I’m still on the fence about is the university fund. I’m skeptical of state funding for universities, because my understanding is quite a bit of that goes to admin instead of lowering tuition. But most organizations seem to support the proposition, and the only ones who oppose it say they do so because the universities are too “woke”. I don’t want to vote in alignment with some alt right organizations :/
