The big front-page heqad in the Examiner screams: “CUTTING VOTERS SERVICES: Budget could close a quarter of polling places.”
The story is a bit milder, but still: Outrage over the fact that, to quote the inside head, “the cost of democracy takes a big hit.”
Just for the record, the reason this is all happening is that the mayor is promoting a cuts-only solution to the budget crisis, something even GOP Governor Schwarzenegger agreed was a bit much. And the Examiner has fully supported the mayor in that effort and opposed new taxes.
Just so you know who to blame.
