    The part that was most surprising to me was this:

    ARGUMENTS

    PRO Proposition 6 ends slavery in California and upholds human rights and dignity for everyone. It replaces carceral involuntary servitude with voluntary work programs, has bipartisan support, and aligns with national efforts to reform the 13th Amendment. It will prioritize rehabilitation, lower recidivism, and improve public safety, resulting in taxpayer savings.

    CON No argument against Proposition 6 was submitted.

    No one came out in opposition? Not even the bureau of prisons, or the warden’s union‽‽ And it still didn’t pass?

        This is the only reason that I would support the absolutely horrendous idea of ensuring that everyone’s vote was public record, and I would still vote against that erosion of our rights.
