Apparently techies in NoCal are either a very liberal bunch, or they aren't paying attention. Pelosi should have been gone ages ago, but she wins every time by a huge margin.
Her district, CA-12, is SF City and County proper; there are probably only 50k techies by any definition in a city of around 800k. I'd estimate around 10-15k voters. Out of that group you probably have a higher than usual number of libertarian or green or other third-party voters too; probably far fewer party-line Democrats.
More seriously, we should get the unions riled about this. Increased police powers and surveillance have not, historically, been kind to labor.
Depending on the quality of your local police, they have nothing to gain and a lot to lose.
