Joanna Jaramillo’s Analysis:

If I could vote, I would probably vote Yes on this proposition. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to decide whether electricity companies have the right to install themselves in inconvenient areas. With this proposition people will be able to vote on what they would like as their electrical service company, and how much they are willing to be paying. Some people decide not to vote because they see information and it is to much to read. Without basing their decision on any facts, they cast an arbitrary vote without actually putting thought into what they are voting for. An example would be the length of the name of the prop. The name of the proposition can be intimidating for some people, and it may trick the voter into voting a different way than what he had planned. The whole title of the proposition is, “prop 16 imposes new two-thirds voter approval requirement for local public electricity providers. Initiative constitutional amendment.” Just by looking at the title, people give up trying to learn more about it.
