Nov 2024 General Election Ballot Analysis (III): Local and State Measures

It’s that time again. We’re closing in on the general election. Sample ballots are starting to go out. As people are already starting to make up their minds, I figured I should try to get this out as early as I could. Every election, I do a detailed ballot analysis of my sample ballot. This is where I examine each candidate and share my conclusions, and invite you to convince me to vote for the other jerk.  Because this is a long ballot, I’m splitting this analysis into a few chunks (note: links may not be available until all segments are posted):

1. State and National Offices (excluding judges)
2. County and City (Los Angeles) Local Offices (excluding judges)
3. Local and State Measures (nee Propositions)
4. Judicial Offices (County and State)
5. Summary

Note: This analysis is NOT presented in the same order as the Sample Ballot (the ballot order makes no sense). I’ve attempted instead to present things in more logical order.

This part covers the State and Local Measures

• State Propositions (Legislative Measures): Proposition 2 | Proposition 3 | Proposition 4 | Proposition 5 | Proposition 6
• State Propositions (Initiatives): Proposition 32 | Proposition 33 | Proposition 34 | Proposition 35 | Proposition 36
• Los Angeles County Measures: Measure A | Measure G
• Los Angeles City Measures:  Charter Amendments: DD | LL | HH | II | ER | FF
