I Have a Question
On California's Novembers ballot, voters will have the chance to reinstate the Death Penalty that has not been in effect in this particular state for many decades. How would you vote?

We last executed someone in 2006, so it has been reinstated since the 70s. There has been a moratorium since 2014, when it was ruled unconstitutional in the lower courts, but not repealed. Charles Ng and Richard Allen Davis (Polly Klaas' murderer) are among those still on Death Row. Proposition 34 (which would've commuted all death sentences to life imprisonment) was defeated in 2012. I have a feeling that if a repeal's on the ballot it will probably be defeated again, in view of the recent shootings of police and conflict. That tends to be how it goes when people feel unsafe.
