The campaign has been so abysmally trivial, and so unfocused on California's real-world political issues, that there's a strong chance that relatively few voters will be motivated to even cast ballots. The March primary set a record for low turnout, and without any other galvanizing contest, such as a hot-button ballot measure, to attract voters, November's participation rate may be similar.

It's impossible to have "None of the above - For a new election" on the 2002 California ballot. What we can do in 2002 is to protest the choice of "Pay to Play Gray" Davis and Bill "Simple" Simon. How to send a message: Vote for one of the minor-party candidates (you can even just pick one at random!). Then in 2004 we can put a real "None of the above" initiative on the ballot, not like the silly one that failed in 2000. I've started a web site about this at www.noneoftheabove.org that talks about some of the options, as well as the dismal choice Californians face in November. I'll try to start a discussion on Free Republic about this in a few days.
