[ ] The guy with the bow tie.
[ ] David Chiu.
Do you want to recall three members of the School Board?

November 8th
Who do you want for Assessor-Recorder now? Just checking.
[ ] See above.
[ ] Wait. After careful consideration, I’ve completely changed my mind.
Oops, there might be another runoff for State Assembly. Yes, the same State Assembly as all the other times.
[ ] -_-
There’s a US Senate seat up for grabs, plus two for the House.
[ ] Literally anyone but Nancy Pelosi.
[ ] Literally anyone but Shahid Buttar.
If you’re in an even-numbered district, you’ll need to choose a Supervisor.
[ ] I think I live in District 7?
[ ] Aaron Peskin is a Supervisor, right? Let’s go with him.
[ ] Whoever tweets the most.
City Attorney? Community College Board? Public Defender? BART Director?
[ ] Please stop.
[ ] Robots all around.
Almost done!
Specify your ballot processing preferences (check all that apply).
[ ] Discard my ballot if it could break a tie. I don’t want that on my conscience.
[ ] If a candidate I chose ever gets canceled on social media, change my ballot accordingly.
[ ] Trash my ballot and just count my partner’s twice. (If my partner also chooses this option, trash both our ballots.)
Is there anything else you’d like to say?
[ ] I’m only doing this for the sticker.
[ ] I’m high.
[ ] I’d rather not say.
Note from Stuart: This ballot is obviously very satirical. If you want to know the BAS endorsements for the February election please check out The League of Pissed Off Voters as we agree with them. The author of this piece, Natalie Mead, has made no endorsements whatsoever.
