Given the immense financial stakes in these ballot measures, voters will be subjected to hundreds of millions of dollars in radio, television and internet ads.
Additional voting booths wait to be set up as election workers test voting procedures at the San Bernardino County Registrar office in San Bernardino, on Monday, Feb. 5, 2024, during the first day of early voting for the March 5 presidential primary. California politics being what they are – deeply blue domination by Democrats – means that many of the races on the November ballot are already decided.
While Democrats will capture the vast majority of the California’s 52 congressional seats, there are about a half-dozen in play, enough to potentially determine which party controls the House of Representatives. The scale of the conflicts is most evident in an initiative, sponsored by the Business Roundtable and anti-tax groups, that would make state and local tax increases markedly more difficult to enact.
However, they aren’t the only ones because advocates and foes for four other initiatives still await confirmation that they have enough signatures to qualify. The quartet includes an initiative that would modify Proposition 47, a 2014 ballot measure that reduced penalties for many crimes. Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders are trying to persuade its sponsors to drop the measure by crafting a narrow set of sentencing changes that would leave Prop. 47 intact. As the June 27 deadline nears, whether that effort succeeds is uncertain.
