[CounterCounterCulture]

Welcome to the live thread for the California Primary Election. Polls are open until 8pm tonight. If you are a registered voter, it is your duty to vote and defend your rights and civil liberties, protect your pocketbook, and vote the bums out where applicable.

Feel free to discuss issues key to your local area that others may be interested in. Post your polling place experiences if you like. And post numbers as they come in later tonight.

The idiot voters don't know the legendary Brown is constitutionally ineligible for the job he's won.

At least we'll have a Speaker from the Land Of Fruits, Flakes & Nuts. California's day in Congress has arrived.

Come on, Tony....

I'd hate to see Chiang the tax monger win.

[FightforFreedomCA]

I love that McClintock is winning. A bright spot on a rather bummer evening.
