I'd be voting no on it, if that didn't count as a yes on 61. Unless I'm misreading your post, that's your position too? As for 65, well, I struggled. This measure would essentially make our major races non-partisan, with a run-off, much like Portland's city council races are run. I understand the arguments against it; I just don't agree with them (especially the major parties' arguments). My support for 65 is tepid, but it's too late to change my vote! Re. voting straight dem, all I can say is I'm tired of quixotic third-party protest voting. I don’t see how we disagree on 57. I’d be voting no on it, if that didn’t count as a yes on 61.

I just published a post advocating support for qualified third party candidates. We also disagree on M65, and possibly on M57. Oh well. Let the arguments begin.
