Scott Alexander sometimes publishes a review of the California ballot, and will even sometimes publish local reviews of other state/city ballots. There are many like it, but this one is ours.
You’ll want to bring a laptop for this one. Show up, do some research on the options for this year’s ballot, compare your opinions everyone else’s via moderated discussion.
Procedures are here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fnDiObykGvgbkXN3ldJBjsMMJQW3co4hK6xa8gSAdbM) though we may update them a bit. The template we’ll be writing from is here ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KITTsjEg4vU8LhFtoIGKbQwwTE2cqmAbpKMp_UJ5Xek/edit )
