According to a new Field Poll, only 46.1% of Californians will get out and vote today. That’s an all time record low, which previously stood just north of 50% back in the 2002 election.

Unless you vote, you’re not allowed to complain to my face about the state of politics today or about how terrible our elected officials are.  In fact, I’m going to make voting a new prerequisite to starting a political conversation with me.

Also, I will be wagging my shame finger up and down this state at people that don’t vote.  I guarantee it.

(It’s a stinky shame finger.  Full of shame.  I don’t know why it stinks.  Nor would you want to find out.)
