I wrote about Prop 8, and the staggering 34 separate referendums on San Francisco ballot papers for Lib Dem voice.

One of the things Californians were voting on was a bond issue to finance a new high-speed rail link for CA, the “Safe, Reliable High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Act.”  Interesting the need to reassure about safety and reliability, even in the name of the bill before the Californian senate.

There’s lots of info about the proposed route on Wikipedia.  WP also has a useful map of who voted for it – and if my geography isn’t way out, it looks like the counties who aren’t going to get any of the benefit were the ones who didn’t vote for it.

Gizmodo has some sweet CGI animations, and there’s also an official website.
