As it does every election session, the Humboldt Organized for Peace and the Environment (HOPE) Coalition has released its round-up of who is recommending what vote on each of the 11 propositions on the state ballot this Nov. 5.
Why is this useful? Well, ballot measures can be confusing! It takes time to get to the bottom of them! So sometimes you just want to look to people you trust, who have put the work in, to figure out how you might want to lean on any given yay-or-nay ballot proposition vote.
Conversely, you might want to look to an organization you loathe and vote the opposite of the way it recommends. That works too!
In any case: The HOPE Coalition goes and rounds up the recommendations from a wide variety of sources and shares them with the community, for this purpose. They’re sort of the 538 of ballot prop recommendations.
Looking for more info on those propositions? You can’t do better than the Voter Guide published by our friends at CalMatters. They’ve got the text of all the measures, concise video explainers and more pro- and con- takes from across the spectrum
You can get the HOPE Coalition’s rundown in easy, printable PDF form at this link. If you’re an HTML native, you can find the relevant table translated into that format below. If you’re on your phone, maybe turn it sideways and scroll back and forth with your thumb.
