1. I got the same two flyers today. That makes three in all. I sure hope people don't fall for it.

It is so early to be sending flyers. That worries me because it could mean they have an incredible amount of money. Of course, it could also mean they don't really know how to run a campaign.

3. I got one from an outfit called "The Right Choice" or something like that.

Get it?

“Right”?

And all I could think of was, “When you guys start fighting this hard against what they’re doing down in Tejas, then we can talk about fairness.” Until then, this is what’s fair.

I very much hope the real LWV sues the people that used their name. Waiting for the rest to show up.

I am all in with Gov Newsom.

12. Can anyone speak to the backgrounds of the quoted opinionators?

I'm just curious, knowing more about these people and their affiliations might tell us something useful about the opposition.
page 1:
Alex Lee, Legislative Progressive Caucus
Darius Kemp, California Common Cause
LeBron Hill, Sacramento Bee
Jeanne Raya, California Citizens Redistricting Commission
Charles T. Munger, Protect Voters First, Hold Politicians Accountable
page 3:
Gloria Chun Hoo, League of Women Voters of California
page 5:
Russel Yee, California Citizens Redistricting Commission
I'm a bit suspicious of some of these organizations. I've seen assholes try to up their pet associations by picking names that are just a little different from the real thing. LWV of CA is likely legit, disappointing though. Is "California Citizens Redistricting Commission" the actual name of the independent redistricting body? And who is "Right Path California"?
