Electioneering alleged in La Mirada

Longtime La Mirada resident Scott Young called the newsroom about 8:30 a.m. on Election Day to report a "verbally abusive" No on Prop 8 supporter who was allegedly passing out election materials within 100 feet of the polling station at the La Mirada Recreation Center on La Mirada Boulevard. Young said he called both the Registrar-Recorder's office in Norwalk and the La Mirada Police Department to have the man removed.

"It's a hot-button issue," Young said. Prop 8 would amend the state Constitution to define marriage as between "a man and a woman" and has drawn fervent demonstrations for and against the measure. The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that a whopping $73 million has been spent for and against the proposition.
