They don't get it

Officials still wonder why people do not get out to vote. They always complain about low voter turnout but they are apparently clueless. I will make a couple of suggestions to remedy this.

1) Forbid the courts from overturning laws passed by ballot proposition.

2) Forbid Boards of Supervisors or City Councils from overturning laws passed by ballot proposition.

It seems like everytime John or Jane Q. Citizen does something, his or her desires are being overturned by people or courts who think they know better.

As a result of the rampant tampering with the election process, our votes don't count anymore. As a result it is difficult to work up any sort of enthusiasm for voting when you "know" that some public officials or some court is going to nullify or overturn what you and the rest of the citizens just did in the previous election.

So why bother to vote?
