Throughout California cost Busby, but it cost the whole state new libraries, too. It seems clear to me that the heavy Republican districts still managed, through effort, to turn out some votes, whereas the Democrats didn't really have a GOTV campaign up and running yet. All I got, sitting in the heart of Dem Country, Sonoma County, were robocalls from people I was already voting for.
I am moving out of state before the November elections, but I sure hope the DNC gets organized at the grass roots before then, or it won't be looking good in CA. The figures I heard said about 28% turned up at the polls, and a whole lot of people used absentee ballots or just plain stayed home. Burnout and apathy are our worst enemies.
