A lot has been said in the media about the upcoming special election spurred by Gov. Schwarzenegger. Attack ads have been running, which many say have confused voters beyond reason. As a result, they are turned off and probably won’t show up to the polls.

So this week, Q-Line wants to know, “Do you see a need for a special election? Why or why not?”

Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your responses in the weekend edition. Please try to limit your comments to a minute or less. It might help to think first about the wording of your response.
