This is my voter guide for the November 3, 2020 election in Alameda County, California. Some measures/candidates are statewide, some not. If you're not eligible to vote in California, you can probably stop reading here, unless you're really nerdy.
Eligible to vote in California but not registered to vote? You can register to vote, and vote early, on the same day, at your county elections office, right up until the election. In Alameda County, that's the basement of the courthouse at 1225 Fallon St. in downtown Oakland. This is called conditional voter registration and means you will vote on a provisional ballot. As of today, this is your only option if you want to vote but are not registered at your current residential address.
State and federal offices
President/VP: Biden/Harris
Look, I get it. Biden is a rapist. Harris is a cop. Biden said I should be arrested and imprisoned because I'm an anarchist, which is a pretty fascist thing to say. If you want to sit this one out, I won't judge you. However, even if you can't stomach voting for one of the two viable presidential candidates, please vote in state and local elections, no matter where you live. State legislatures are where increasingly authoritarian Republicans gain legitimacy, and where you can stop them.
