Make It Make Sense
Casting your ballot is one thing. Unpacking what comes after Election Day is another.
Make It Make Sense is a limited-run newsletter that’s your lifeline after the polls close. Which state and local ballot measures passed? Which candidates won office? How are elected officials living up to their promises after getting elected? We’ll unpack the ballot count and results, then check in regularly on the officials voted into office and the measures passed by voters.
What to expect
First up, we’ll offer a look-back on past elections and examine the track record of key ballot measures and elected officials voted into office in recent years. What have officials accomplished since they were elected? Have policy changes put in place by voter-approved initiatives worked? We’ll bring you answers to those questions in a series that will launch in late April. You’ll get one email a day over the course of a week that explains where things stand.
Then after the June 2 primary, we’ll keep tabs on election results and the ballot count. Expect one email a day for the week following Election Day, then two or three updates a week until all the results are final. We’ll explain which races are over, which head to a November runoff, and what will change for your life in Southern California. We’ll wrap up the series by the end of June.
