A few of my five or six regular readers aren't from California like I am, so they may not be aware that Proposition 83, also known nationwide as "Jessica's Law," named for nine-year-old Florida kidnapping and murder victim Jessica Lunford, passed overwhelmingly on Tuesday night. If you're too busy or lazy to click on the above link, the law requires that sex offenders have to be monitored for life with GPS technology, bars them from living within 2000 feet from schools or parks, and increases penalties for violent sex offenders and child molestors. It passed with the support of more than 70 percent of California voters.
Why am I mentioning this? Well, because there was a single, solitary county here in California that voted against the law. Just one. Click here to find out which one. You may have to squint to see it, since the county happens to be the smallest in the state, comprised, if I'm not mistaken, of the city limits of only one city. But really, take a look.
And you'll never guess who represents the voters who turned down stiffer penalties for child molesters in congress. Well, maybe you can guess, since she's kinda been in the news lately.
Make of that what you will.
