My friend Alan mentioned that he probably won’t vote because he doesn’t think his vote makes any difference.

On Tuesday, June 3, 2008, I voted in the California Statewide Election. The results are online now at the Secretary of State’s website. For the U.S. Congress, District 26 voted for Russell Warner over Cynthia Matthews on the Democratic side, and David Dreier over Sonny Sardo on the Republican side. Walnut is in the 26th Congressional District, along with Arcadia, Claremont, and La Canada Flintridge. For the State Assembly, voters selected Curt Hagman over Larry Dick for the Republicans.

Vote for Liushuo Wan. Right now, he’s losing, 305 votes to 559. But you can reverse that. He’s on the right side. Go vote now, it only takes a second. Here’s that link again:
Zinch March Madness – vote Liushuo Wan.
Here’s why:
- He has USC listed under his Shout Outs.
- He’ll do anything to win this scholarship, but even if he doesn’t, he’ll “tip his hat out to the winner.”
- He has done many things to shape his community, such as volunteering his time to tutor elementary school children.
- He currently tutors a person with a mental disability, hoping to have a positive impact on the person’s life.
- He has realized the need to grow up and mature.
- He knows the importance of world-awareness and that he has the ability to leave a positive legacy for his peers.
- Not only does he realize this, but he lives it out, too.
- He cares about world issues and problems with society.
Now, I’m not fully convinced by those points. For instance, what really makes him unique, and what has he accomplished? But the ease of voting for him means that you can do it in literally 2 clicks, so give him your vote. I know him in real life, so I know he’ll appreciate it

Yesterday’s “Super Tuesday” primaries were extremely sketchy. I specifically asked the lady at my polling place: Do I need to write my registered address on the provisional ballot envelope? She said “No,” they have other ways of identifying me. Yet no ID was required. For the record, her nametag said “Angelica.”
My provisional vote may or may not have counted, I don’t know because I haven’t yet called to find out. I’ll call tomorrow, but please read this incredible account of what happened to at least a few voters yesterday…
What we have both personally experienced and have been getting tons of calls on is voter disenfranchisement at the polls yesterday. Let me explain; My son came with me to vote. He had changed his registration from American Independent to Republican so he could vote for Ron Paul and he met the deadline requirement by one day but was still shown as an American Independent Party member.
There was also another woman there who had changed her registration to Republican to vote the same way. They were told that they were not on the Republican list and could vote as Republican because they were assigned as another party. My son asked for a provisional ballot and was told no. They just crossed both names off the list of registered voters.
My son said, I won’t vote other than Republican. The other woman said the same. … And they had no idea of what else to do.
So, I came home and called the Registrar’s Office (not the number on the registration forms or in the phone book because they were all experiencing technical difficulties), I called a number I googled and got through 5 min before they were closed for the day.
The person I spoke with had no knowledge to anything. So she looked up my sons name and sure enough he was timely registered as a Republican. We were then told to go back to the poll and that they would make a call to those there as to the situation. Apparently, an updated add-on list was attached to the list of voters of which none of those working the polls knew of. Those running the polls were very incompetent. Why would we want people like this running our election polls? Maybe we should have stepped up to the plate. I think these people had their hearts in the right direction but didn’t know the ins and outs.
Anyway, I find out now that this wasn’t just a clerical error but a fast moving problem across the entire state of California.
