I can has vote

Well, it's official. I've voted. Voting in California is more difficult than you might think, at least for the conscientious. As well as the national elections, there are also state, county, and city officials to choose. And then there are all the initiatives.

Do you have a link to what those initiatives are?

[e_pepys]

Sure: California state initiatives and local measures (I voted on A-D and N (Palo Alto).

The LWV link above gives the pros and cons for for each proposition.

Congrats on your vote! Good going. :)

I'm not sure I deserve congratulations. I cheated.

[emily_shore]

Cheated? As long as you didn't steal your ballot, I'd say you decided exactly as good voters are supposed to decide. I mean, what do you think the League of Women Voters puts that guide online for?

How come you get to vote? Did you go american suddenly or did I just never know about some dual nationality thing?

[e_pepys]

I've always been a yank. Can't you tell by my accent?

I am dual national, inherited from my mother, who is also dual national by marriage. She's american by virtue of being born in Switzerland.
