I thought only CA residents could vote in CA elections?

52% of CA residents that voted voted for this. That doesn't scream out of state to me.

The tens of millions in funding from Utah and the Mormon Church can influence elections a lot. -- nm - MDH Feb 7, 10:59 2

  - 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

- I realize that. But ignoring the fact that CA citizens voted for this is ridiculous. - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 10:59 1
  - Nobody's ignoring that (see below about my problem with the Proposition system) -- nm - con_carne Feb 7, 11:02
- Heh. At first read of the IM, I thought it said "carry", not "marry", and I thought "I'm sure they're for that, as long as she's in a carriage." -- nm - TFox Feb 7, 10:56

Prop 8 lawyers are paid by a wide range of out of state sources -- nm - con_carne Feb 7, 10:54 4
- Yes, but you are ignoring the fact that it was voted on and passed by CA residents. - spamlet (iPhone) Feb 7, 10:56 3
  - 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
