Calling on California Peggy (or other knowledgeable Californians)!!!!!!!!!!!Help.....

Some friends and I are unsure about the following State Judicial Justices:

John L. Segal - Yes or No?
John Shepard Wiley Jr. - Yes or No?
Elizabeth Annette Grimes - Yes or No?

Do you know about them? Or, if you have a link to a progressive site that would help too (I'm having some trouble figuring out some of the props too).

Thanks for any help you can give

I've got my choices in my sample ballot, which is elsewhere at the moment. And I'm going to be busy for the next little while....

When I get a moment, I will tell you how I voted.

In the meantime, someone else may have the info you need!

Best of luck!



On edit: My choices:

Segal: YES

Wiley: YES

Grimes: NO

The library you'll go to--is that by any chance the one on Green St. at the corner of Artesia? We always drop our ballots there!

Just in case you drop it off vs live voting you can follow the progress of your mail in / drop off ballot to make sure it is accepted

None of those names are on my ballot anywhere.

I'm assuming that by "State Judicial Justices," you mean supreme court justices. The names on my ballot for state supreme court are Guerrero, Liu, Jenkins, and Groban. There are also a bunch of names for court of appeal, but none of those names are there either.

What is the exact name of the offices that you're talking about here?
