Since I've become a citizen, I finally got to vote for the first time. My ballot arrived in the mail. Boy, was this confusing...

It said "presidential primary election", but there was no place to vote for that. All the ballot had was 9 propositions, 7 state and 2 local affecting the city. Most of the propositions were about amending casino business contracts with the state. They sounded good, so I said yes. I also approved the development of the Green Garden community in Santa Clara. That also sounded good.

I must say there was a lot of supplemental literature mailed with the ballot. Who has the time for all that reading? In fact, most people don't read much nowadays. Only if it's short and has pictures. Right? I know...

It didn't say why this ballot had no choice to vote for the president. So i figured I just mail it how it is and then see what happens...
