SoCal elections
We had the Los Angeles Mayoral elections today. Unfortunately, however, I didn't get to participate since I'm not a citizen of the city of LA (just the county). Here in Pasadena, however, we had some elections of our own: for the public school board. This was arguably just as important an election as the one our friends in the city took part in, as the Pasadena Unified Public School District is shit, being badly in need of change. Hopefully today marks a new beginning.
Local elections like this are also cool cause my vote actually counts. Rather than being one of millions, I'm one of a few. Which I think is even fewer than "a few" considering not many people vote in local stuff. When I went to the polling station today I wasn't quite sure whether or not I had the right place because no one was there! (Except the volunteer staff of course.) On top of that, to signify that you voted, you had to sign your name in this book. As the lady looked through the book to find me, I didn't see any other people signed in! I honestly get the feeling that maybe two dozen other people voted today (at my polling station). Thus, I'm pretty confident I had a helluv'an impact :)
