Vote right now in Los Angeles Leimert Park
I was one of only 62 that made it to my polling place as of this afternoon.
I asked how that compares and the nice poll worker ladies said - There are about a 1,000 registered voters.

Los Angeles Council District 8 Candidate Forum this Thursday March 2 in your neighborhood!
Why does it matter? Why should I vote? I already voted in 2008. I don't know the candidates. I don't know the issues. I don't have access to google. I can't afford facebook. Twitter is useless.
