LA Porn Condom Measure Fails to Draw Voter Interest
Perhaps people don't want to vote on laws about what other people do?
When Los Angeles County voters go to the polls on election day, the ballot will include a question they've never seen before: Should pornographic movie performers be required to wear condoms during filming?
From now until Nov. 6, analysts say, supporters and opponents of Measure B could have a tricky time convincing them to even consider the point.
"Not only is it an issue that's not particularly important to voters, but it's way down the ballot," said Darry Sragow, a longtime political strategist and attorney unaffiliated with either side of the campaign. "Most voters may say, 'This is not an issue I care that strongly about, or this is an issue I don't know much about,' and they may take a pass."
