Despite being the most populous state — and one of the most diverse — California's opinion doesn't matter a lick when it comes to picking this year's Republican Presidential candidate. But nonetheless there's a primary happening on June 5, and the city of San Francisco wants you to "Be a Voter." (Some researchers, you see, have found that the phrase "Be a Voter" is more statistically encouraging than the more direct command of "Vote!")

We suppose "Vote, you lazy assholes!" was too aggressive?

In any event, Dianne Feinstein is up for reelection this year in the Senate, despite her advanced age (she'll be 80 next year), and odds are that she will win.

Also, there's an election for members in the Democratic County Central Committee, and a couple of ballot measures, including Proposition 28 (limits on legislators' term limits); and Proposition 29, which will impose a new tax on cigarettes to fund cancer research. Read more about them here.

Hopefully you will all BE A VOTER and this won't be one of those times when like 100 people from each neighborhood show up?
