    for real tho...how the hell did that guy get a trial so fast? 😆

    Likely just demanded his speedy trial. Not a bad strategy when the prosecution has a shitty case.  I've had to do several within that timeframe and it can be incredibly stressful getting all your ducks in a row, depending on the defense. But then again, it's usually moreso for the party that bears the burden.

    It's cheap for the state.

    It's not cheap for each individual county. CA has 58 counties.
     

     

    "costs to counties of up to a few million dollars statewide"

    Doesn't the "statewide" qualifier mean that it will be a few million dollars statewide? Honest question.

    Otherwise, we're talking about 70-200 million to "update election materials?

    Didn't want to CR the Wives Stupid Shit thread, but my wife voted No on California Prop 50 (temporary redistricting to counter Texas gerrymandering). She doesn't like Trump and wants to see him gone, but doesn't want to pay the price for redistricting. Told her sometimes it takes sacrifice for democracy, but nope, she's pretty stubborn.

     

    what's the price?

    Good question. That was a word I was not familiar with until November of 2024. It apparently refers to items that you would purchase at HEB. Like, say, apples or eggs or bread. I'm not sure what we used to call it before the stable genius introduced the word into the lexicon, but I've called it "groceries" ever since. 

    good to know. will try it out on Saturday when we do our weekly sundry shopping
