I can't say for sure either. Lots of Democrats are supporting it because ending cash bail is great, but then the NAACP and ACLU are against it because algorithms won't necessarily solve the structural problems that cash bail has. The GOP also opposes 25, but I'd guess it's because they think algorithms would be less "tough on crime".
Cash bail is the evil we know, and algorithms are the evil we don't.
Is prop 25 good or bad? A friend asked me and I didn't know what to say.
