I do like voting early. That way i can do research at home and just like, take my time at home, the voter guide, the ballot, the drop off locations every thing. It was a lot easier here than North Carolina or connecticut or arizona, where ive lived before. Inside city hall at the San Francisco department of elections, workers were processing the slow trickle of ballots coming in. The turnout for this election. As of this morning was 17. Director of elections john arndt says 17 is low, but it isnt too far off from the 2020 president ial primary year. Right now, we have 84,000 ballots back and compared to the march 2020 election, the previous president ial primary election, we had 85,000 ballots back. So were tracking really well this year, though, with presumptive candidates in the democrat and republican president ial primaries. Some people worry there might be less incentive for people to get out and vote. I knocked on doors today to say, have you voted . Have you voted . I want to ma
