13. Same here. Long ballot too.

Two giant sheets. Lots of judges and so forth that looked complicated but turned out to be easy for the most part (incumbent vs. "entrepreneur," vote for two out of two, incumbent vs. high school student, etc).

The weird thing was that not a single 3rd-party candidate got on the ballot. I think it has something to do with Cali's new instant-runoff elections. Anyway it's kind of a shame as I'm still registered Peace and Freedom and used to dutifully vote up the P&F candidates (where feasible, i.e., in no-contest races) to help them keep their ballot status, and I wonder where that handful of perrenial candidates went. Haven't contacted them in years.

So I voted straight Dem just like I used to do when I first started voting. Kind of weird that way. But not unpleasant!
