California votin'
it looks like Tuesday's election will have the highest-ever turnout. And who said Californian's were politically apathetic (other than us)? Here's an excerpt from an Associated Press bit that just moved:
So far, election officials have counted 7.2 million ballots. The head of the county clerks association, Steve Weir, said about 2 million ballots remain to be counted. The record for number of votes in a California presidential primary is 7.8 million, which was set in 2000. The highest turnout percentage for a California presidential primary was set in 1976, when 72.6 percent voted. California has 15.7 million registered voters. A projected turnout of 9.2 million would mean that 58.5 percent of registered voters cast ballots.
Comments
Is there a difference between the percentage of vote being reported as Latino out of the exit polls and that of those who vote by mail/absentee?
