The View From Your Election: California

A reader writes:

My newlywed husband and I just returned from voting. There were Vote No on 8 volunteers at the corners on either side of the polling place. Everyone who walked by them told them they were voting "NO". We were in line about 25 minutes, total. When we came home we found, in the mail, our official marriage certificate from LA County. Delivered just under the wire! 

To misquote another, slightly more famous (and now deceased) Los Angeleno, "they will have to pry it from my cold dead gay hand!"
