June 8 Primary

Much of the action and deception in California’s June 8 Primary Election is on the Republican ballot and the five propositions.  But read on (or skip) to the end of this piece for the election that has generated the most heat, from an Armenian perspective.  This is the year of elections for California’s “constitutional officers”, governor, attorney general, etc.
First let’s get some of the most troublesome elections out of the way.  These are non-partisan, but also, they are almost “non-information”.  The LA County Superior Court judges!  Who knows about them?  Unless an organization you trust has studied them (beyond the bar association’s findings regarding their competence) you have no real way of telling who would be good.  So, if, like me, you feel compelled to vote, check out the LA Times April 24 edition’s editorials where they list their recommendations and see if they make sense to you.
Other non-partisan elections confront us, and choosing there is a bit less difficult, thanks to ome work the LA Times has done.  While I don’t share their conclusions, I will avail myself of their research.  For California’s Superintendent of Public Instruction, their top three choices are Tom Torlakson, Gloria Romero, and Larry Aceves—choose one of these three.  Simlalry, for LA County Tax Assessor, choose either John Noguez or John Wong.   Finally, I suggest voting for the LA Unified School District’s proposed $100-per-year-per-parcel assessment, lasting only four years, which appears as Measure E on residents’ ballots to help the schools survive the dire times caused by California’s budget disaster.
The five California-wide propositions on the ballot are real issues this time, even if I don’t support them all.  Here’s what I think:
Proposition 13: Yes— This one’s easy.  No one’s opposed.  It helps make building of all sorts safer by eliminating a disincentive to seismically upgrade them.  Currently, if you own a home (or anything else) that isn’t up to modern earthquake-proofing standards, and you decide to fix it, you will trigger a reassessment that will likely increase your property tax by a significant amount. Who wants that? Prop 13 eliminates this obstacle. It’s nice to have such a simple, common-sense, constitutional amendment that the otherwise much vilified legislature has put on the ballot to improve things for all concerned.  Vote yes.
Proposition 14: No— This ballot measure is a rehash of something that has come up at least once before, in the mid 1990s.  It changes the primary election process.  Instead of each political party, Democratic, Green, Republican, etc. getting to choose their own standard bearer for the general election, everyone would get to vote for everyone regardless of party affiliation.  Currently, if you’re registered as say, Peace & Freedom or Libertarian, you vote on the candidates who are running for that party’s nomination in the primary election.  Then, the winners from each party run against each other in the general (November) election.  With the proposed change, the two candidates who get the most votes would run against each other in the general election, regardless of what party they belonged to.  So there could be districts where only Republicans appear on the November Ballot, while others where only Democrats do.  This not only shuts out the minor parties, but reduces the choice people have even between the two major parties.  It is an ill conceived “solution” to the perceived problem of people getting elected to office who are too ideologically strong in one direction or the other.  But just like term limits were supposed to help solve Sacramento’s problems and only made things worse, this proposal too will do nothing to solve the real root of the problem—too much money from special interests pouring into campaigns.  Also, remember that each political party is a separate organization with a set of principles it stands for as embodied in the party platform.  Each party’s members should get to decide who can best represent them without outside interference.  With the new system, members of party A might vote for the “weakest” candidate of party B to get elected in the primary so that party A has an easier-to-beat opponent in the general.  Here’s another example.  The new system is like saying that members of the Ku Klux Klan should be able to vote in the elections of the American Civil Liberties Union, and vice versa.  Does that make any sense?  Vote No!
Proposition 15: Yes, enthusiastically— This is the best item to appear for a vote in years.  For the first time, a publicly financed campaign will be available to a statewide officer — the Secretary of State.  This is the official who oversees elections, so it is the most important one to have free of outside influences, i.e. campaign donors with agendas that might run contrary to our, the citizenry’s, interest.  Also, this is a trial.  It would hold for the 2014 and 2018 elections.  I we like it, then we can extend it and expand it.  And the best part is, the money for these campaigns would come from raising the registration fees on Sacramento lobbyists (who currently pay less than someone who wants a fishing license!).  No one will be forced to do this, they can opt in or out.  Vote Yes!
Proposition 16: No— This measure is a sneak attack on citizens’ ability to choose who supplies their electricity.  Surprise, surprise, it is bankrolled, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars, by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E).  Can you guess why?  They’re afraid of losing business which is what would happen if municipalities decided to start their own utilities.  So what this measure does is make it MORE DIFFICULT for people to choose a public utility by requiring a 2/3 vote to create one.  Many of us in the LA area (Burbank, Glendale, LA) enjoy the stable service provided by municipal power authorities.  When Enron gamed the system a decade ago, those served by public utilities did not suffer.  PG&E wants to deny others this option as a viable alternative by deceptively advertising this ballot measure as a “right to vote” when we already have that right.  It just locks in PG&E’s effective monopoly on supplying power in the areas it serves.  Don’t be fooled by the millions spent to support this deceit. Vote No!
Proposition 17: No— This measure is another corporate bait-and-switch.  Under the guise of “helping” car insurance payers, what it does is help the bottom line of its main proponent, Mercury Insurance.  It does one good thing, allowing insurance companies to give a discount to people switching from one insurance company to another, currently forbidden by the law.  But, it also allows several other INCREASES to be charged by insurance companies.  For instance, if you terminate you coverage for any reason, no matter how sensible—moving out of state, serving in the military, being injured and not driving, etc.—when you go to restore coverage, all your years of previous coverage will not count towards a lower premium the way they do now.  If Mercury Insurance was serious about its “benevolence”, it would have proposed changing only the prohibition against giving the discount.  Along the way, this proposition also overturns parts of the original law passed by Californians in 1988 to protect against abusive insurance practices.  Imagine that two previous California Insurance Commissioners have come out against this!  Vote no!
On the Democratic Party ballot, there’s relatively little excitement.  You’ll see only one candidate for Secretary of State, Controller, Treasurer, and (at least for the 4th District) member of the State Board of Equalization.  For Governor, there is only one SERIOUS contender, Jerry Brown, the rest are unknowns.  So far, it’s all no-brainers. For lieutenant governor, I’ll recommend Gavin Newsom who has been on the right side of many issues, and since Janice Hahn is a current member of the LA City Council, (the performance of which I’m not impressed with), and the third is an unknown.  For insurance commissioner, I’m going with Hector de la Torre over Dave Jones, since I know more of the former and he has been good.  The other easy choice is Barbara Boxer for U.S. Senator who, surprisingly, has two opponents, but is clearly the closest to the Armenian community.  Finally, for those in the 29th congressional district, another easy choice is Adam Schiff who’s running unopposed.
The real tough call on the Democratic ticket is for attorney general.  With so much corporate crime, that’s the number one issue for me. So which of the seven candidates would be best?  While candidate Delgadillo is arguably closest to the Armenian community, his chances of election are probably diminished because of his lackluster performance during his two terms as LA’s City Attorney.  I am very leery of people who jump in to the political fray for the first time at the statewide level, especially those touting their “business” background, which eliminates three more candidates.  Given the background of the remaining three, the two with prosecutorial experience, Harris and Lieu top the list.  I may end up just flipping a coin to choose which of these two to vote for.
The Republicans have the really exciting primaries this year.  For governor, eight candidates have thrown their hats in the ring.  Six are irrelevant.  The two biggies are Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner, a billionaire and multi-millionaire, respectively.  Whitman has spent some $70 million of her fortune and Poizner, $30 million of his.  They’re not getting much for their money, especially Whitman, whose 50% lead over Poizner has now dwindled to less than 10%, with about 30% of Republican voters undecided.  If I were a Republican, I’d vote for Poizner, since he brings some governmental experience to the table (he’s currently the state insurance commissioner) and Whitman hasn’t bothered to vote for most of her life.  What’s that say about her grasp of citizenship?
Six candidates are vying for the Republican nomination to the Lieutenant Governorship.  Here, Abel Maldonado, the recently appointed incumbent seems like the most competent pick.  He was willing to work with Democratic colleagues to craft a solution to budget woes last year, unlike all but one other of his colleagues.  So he is the one who may be able to help with the state’s problems, since one other candidate is a current state senator and the rest are newbies.  I have no advice or insight on the Secretary of State candidates.  Both claim business backgrounds, which is not optimal for the position.  For Controller, Tony Strickland is my recommendation, again, because he brings government experience to the job.  Treasurer is uncontested.  Insurance Commissioner goes to Brian Fitzgerald since he is coming from the department he’d be heading and presumably knows the ropes.  No one is running for the Board of Equalization.
For Attorney General, Cooley has not been good for the Armenian Community, despite a few “i/yans” he keeps in tow.  Go with Harman since he brings government experience.
The other heated Republican primary for Senator.  There are five candidates, among them an unheard of Armenian—don’t waste your vote on him.  There are three serious contenders, one of whom is Carly Fiorina, another millionaire trying to buy her way into office.  Chuck Devore is an extreme ideology who’ll never get elected in California.  Tom Campbell, by all accounts is the most competent of the candidates, vote for him.
I will spare you recommendations for the parties’ central committees.  These are based on Assembly districts and would drive everyone to tears of intense ennui.  But, for one California State Assembly district, the 43rd, that contains the largest number of Armenians, some comments are in order.  I saved this for last because it also appears last in the ballot booklet and might be overlooked.  Don’t skip it since this race is an important one.
You’ll remember that this is the district in which Chahe Keuroghelian ran as a spoiler costing Nayiri Nahabedian the Democratic nomination in the special election held April 13.  Mike Gatto won.  Now, even though both Chahe’s and Nayiri’s names still appear on the ballot for the primary election, they have suspended their campaigns, so Mike will be the Democratic standard bearer in the November General Election for the next term.  BUT, unresolved is the race for the vacancy created when Paul Krekorian was elected to the LA City Council.  In other words, Mike Gatto the Democratic nominee, and Sunder Ramani, the Republican nominee, are still running to fill the position for the six months remaining in the current term.  Here, I suspect Armenians will end up dividing their votes along party lines since both candidates are doing extensive outreach to the community in various ways.
I hope this helps you make your choices.  Regardless of what those might be, please be sure to go to the polls and vote or mail in your absentee ballot (no later than June 4 to be sure it is received in time to be counted).

    Garen, you are wrong with respect to the GOP Senate race. Chuck DeVore has come out with an extremely strong statement in favor of the Armenian Genocide resolution (http://bit.ly/aoT8tK) whereas Tom Campbell has in the past been lukewarm to Armenian Genocide recognition claims. Armenian Republicans should vote for Chuck DeVore.

    The sentence about Mike Gatto doing outreach in the Armenian community is laughable. Mike Gatto recruited Chahe to kill Nayiri’s chances and we should not forget that. His ethnic politics disgust me.
    Mike Gatto will not get my vote or those of my friends or family. We are fed up.

    Hey you “Glendale Resident”; I can smell the “Tea Party” from the distance, there are tons of GOP Armenian members in this city which are trying to abuse the newcomer Armenians dragging them here and there; I know that because I’m a Democrat living in Glendale but I received an email signed by GOP Wizard George Deukmejian and Mark Giragos (which I’m not sure which party he belongs) asking for donation for Tarkanian from Nevada running for Senate seat; let me tell you that this is very low; I’ve been long enough in this country/state/city not to fall in this kind of traps but there are tens of thousands Armenians just in city of Glendale that by seeing an Armenian name will get fooled and that’s what they are doing and I call it LOW.
    Tarkanian is just a “Jojookh” that even GOP doesn’t care for him but the “Tea Party” goers desperately need to grab another seat in Senate and that’s all they see in him.
    I think in this kind of elections we must forget being Armenians and even if we see a very nice Armenian or non-Armenian person in the other side we must stick to our party otherwise it’s blowing in the wind my friend.
    One last thing and I let you go, I don’t know if you are Dashnak, Hnchag, or Ramgavar but this is an example which I’ve seen a lot; let’s say if you are Dashnak which by being “Zhoghovrtavar” automatically falls on the left side of the spectrum; so far no problem; but then if at the same time you are a GOP member then that blows my mind that how can one person swing like a pendulum between left to right.
    My Best Regards,

    Hi Garen,

    Re:Osik,
    I fully understand your post, however, I was a registered republican for years. In ’08, I switched parties and voted for Obama, just because of his stance on different issues, and the Armenian genocide. I have been disappointed by him and the democratic dirty politics that they have played. I was devastated when he decided to visit RoT on his first trip overseas. That’s when I realized how my voted was stolen!
    Then again, what has changed since W.? Nothing, I wish W. was still in office, at least I knew the purpose of why we invaded, and everything had to do with oil.
    You question being a Tashnak, and being a GOP member, I don’t see any problem, cause you are dealing with two different cultures and issues. Why is it that you don’t acknowledge the dirty politics that the democratic party has been playing? They are more racists, condescending, and bigots than any GOP member. At least a GOP member will tell you he or she doesn’t like illegals to their face, however, a democrat will hide his bigotry and racism behind slogans like, politically correctness.
    I know I’m all over the board, sorry about that but I’m at work.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
    • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.

    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
    • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
