On February 11, the California Assembly voted 37-35 to confirm Senator Abel Maldonado to be Lieutenant Governor. See this story. Republicans say he is now confirmed; Democrats say he is not because he didn’t receive as many as 41 “aye” votes.

I have nothing against California State Senator Abel Maldonado, except that he is part of the Establishment Duopoly. His quest to be Lieutenant Governor is short sighted (as that the Governor /Lieutenant Governor ticket should be coordinated on the ballot).
How many election law / government structure cases are there in CA — keeping the CA Supremes and their poor suffering clerks working nonstop — trying to keep up with the nonstop machinations in the regime ???
May Maldonado rot in Hell for all time for his EVIL Repeal of Democracy Act.
How many State Constitutions have FATAL defects — even regarding the filling of vacancies in MAJOR State government offices ???
Where is that Model State Constitution — by the various Goo-goo groups — aka *good government* groups ???
Aha — reading the story at the link, I now see what the immediate/direct fuss is . . . 37 votes was a majority of those cast, but not a majority of the whole 80-vote assembly (since eight members didn’t vote).
