There is a very long ballot this time because it is a statewide legislative election. People might want to do a little reading up in advance. If that's you then there are a few places I can recommend.
1) Pick up an Antigravity Magazine at your local corner store or coffee shop. The "Harm Reduction" guide there is very good and funny and helpful. It's not online yet but probably will be tomorrow. If you're looking for the physical copy, probably the Gambit will be on the rack beside it. Leave that where it is. All of their recommendations are absolute trash this year. I don't know how much of that to attribute to the continuing Geroges-ization of all local media (It's getting real bad! Remind me to say more about this later) or just the fact that Gambit endorsements have always been kind of bad. This seems worse than usual, though.
2) The PAR guide to the amendments is always useful. It doesn't take sides (I am voting no on all four but you may disagree) but it gives detailed arguments for and against each one.
3) And finally there is this one which I think I linked to already but here it is again. It says here,
More than 20 DSA members contributed to the research, writing, editing, and design of this project, among us service industry workers, social workers, secretaries, educators, attorneys, students, and professional organizers. Collectively we have brought our experience and knowledge about the way government systems and elected representatives affect our lives in material ways.
That sounds like a lot of work. Probably should at least give it the courtesy of a glance-over.. even if the serious political reporters don't have the time
