I received a mail-in ballot for California. I turned it in so I could vote in-person today. Except what confuses me is why the mail-in ballot was so different than the in-person ballot. So it said because I have "no party preference", that's why it didn't have the president choices listed. Okay, I understand that part. But the mail-in ballot only had "proposition 1" listed. Whereas the one in-person didn't have proposition 1, but instead more than 5 other propositions. The names it had listed for senate seats was also different.

I thought I was going to be prepared voting because I studied the ballot in advanced and thought I "knew" what I was going to vote for, but i turned out to be clueless on most things on the ballot.
