You should start there and do some research. You've got 24 hours. Check all the Ds. If there are no Ds, write in your most "progressive" neighbor.

I couldn't tell you what the "progressive" choice on any refrendum would be without knowing what it is. And any two "progressives" might take opposing positions on a given issue.

So with 24 hours, you're mostly going to have to go with your own quick critical analysis.

has a voters guide which presents opposing viewpoints. Go to their website.

I've only heard about the proposition on real estate closings. The progressive side is against, says it is misleading in it's wordage, will make closing fees more expensive, and undo some of the protections against crooked bank doings. (Edit: this is a Texas prop)

I intend to go to the LWV website before I vote. Don't know anything about the other props.
