For hard-working Californians who are busy with their everyday lives, it can be hard to sort through the various measures we’ll be voting on this November. To help you get educated on the issues, below are links to PRI’s free-market analysis on the November ballot. We hope you will find this one-stop resource helpful as you learn about the key measures.
One thing we don’t have to worry about is whether your ballot will be delivered by the post office to the elections office on time. As John Barger, a member of the U.S. Postal Service board of governors, recently told PRI’s “Next Round” podcast, “the United States Postal Service has been dedicated to supporting elections in this country time immemorial and the postal service has performed admirably over the years. This year will be no exception, despite Covid.”
