- What does the state sovereignty thing matter when so many Prop 8 supporters don't even live in CA? -- nm - con_carne Feb 7, 10:49 15
  - [deleted]
  - I thought only CA residents could vote in CA elections? - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 10:53 13
    - The tens of millions in funding from Utah and the Mormon Church can influence elections a lot. -- nm - MDH Feb 7, 10:59 2
      - See my answer below. - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 11:00 1
        
        Nobody is saying that. I'm saying if anyone should care about out of state influence, its people who care about states' rights. - con_carne Feb 7, 11:19
    - [deleted] 3
      - I realize that. But ignoring the fact that CA citizens voted for this is ridiculous. - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 10:59 1

        You lost me. I am asking what CA states' rights matters in a debate where one side is bankrolled from out of state. -- nm - con_carne Feb 7, 11:00 2
        
        Both sides are bankrolled from out of state. - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 11:03 1
        
        That only makes my question about the role of states' rights more valid. -- nm - con_carne Feb 7, 11:04
