The seats up for grabs here in california includc those held by some longtime congressional lawmakers to get. The weekend before super tuesday saturday, state senator scott register and vote hes not facin himself, but wants to get involved to increase voter turnout. We got to get the vote out. Turnout is really low so far and we want to make sure people know about this election and know that it matters. Two years ago, during the june midterms primaries, voter turnout statewide was about 33, according to the secretary of states office. The general election that year, in november was about 50, the lowest its been in nearly ten years. Hi, rebecca. This is matt mehan, your mayor. Im just calling a bunch of volunteers today in support of sam liccardo for congress. How are you doinge candidates he supports and says voting at this time is crucial because turnout is lower. Actually, your vote has even more impact in a primary figure out who were going to send to that. That debate in november critically important that you weigh in early, make your preferences known, and the candidates are paying attention to the people who vote. Mayor matt mehan made calls for former mayor sam liccardo running for the district 16 congressional seat held by anna eshoo for more than 30 years, a race with 11 candidates in the fieldc but likely the race closely watched this cycle will be californias next senator. Four candidates are in all threm schiff, katie porter and barbara lee will rally voters in the bay area. Republican steve garvey, a front runner for the november runoff, does not have any scheduled eventsc. I think theubiggest message today is vote. Lets go do it. Im james torres, ktvu, fox two news and as james mentioned, two bay area congressional seats are up for election for the first time. Now in decades in silicon valley. Congresswoman anna eshoo will retire after 32 years in congress drawn a large field of these 11 candidate s in the east bay. Well, nine candidates are vying to replace congresswoman barbara lee, who is running for u. S. Senate. Lee officially endorsed lateefah simon, a bart board spmember. The top two vote getts in both of these races advanced to the general election coming up in november and in the senate porter hosting rallies in the bay area this afternoon. This race, one of the most closely watched in the state. Schiff and porter joined other top candidates steve garvey and barbara lee in the contest for the seat once held by late senator dianne feinstein. The latest polling data from emersod withc 28 of the vote, porter hs 17 and barbara lee with 8 of the vote. That polling shows 17 of voters still undecided. The top two and as candidates urge voters to head does appear fewer californians are eagerly casting their ballot this year. As our Bailey Ocarroll takes a look atuthe closer numbers for us, she tells us what some believe are the reasons for the slow. So far, so far, we received around john arf elections in San Francisco, spsaid. Right now, the early vor turnout is on par. Voting in primaries tends to happen closer to election day than, lets say, a general election. San francisco typically has a high early voter turnout anywhere between 5 to 7 higher than the states average. Paul mitchell, the Vice President of Political Data inc, says the numbers for this election are similar to a gubernatorial election, which typically have the lowest turnout. Generally, president ial primary elections are much higher turnout because theres a lot more anticipation of a spdemocratic primary. Republican primary for president and all the nationalization of the election. And according to mitchell, the lower than anticipated numbers could highlight a change in voter mindset following the there are very few people, spunless loved one is running for the legislature, that would say that this is the most important election of their lifetime. But mitchell stresses its more than just the number of voters at stake. A gap in demographics of voters is growing. Were seeing an older, whiter and more conservative electorate in this low turnout environment. This afternoon, voter turnout was slow at cityuhall, something typical for a sunday. But the voters who did show up, like first time voter cody goodman, want to have their voices heard. You show up, you fill out the form. Theres people here to help you. Um theyre very on par with, like, librarians, you know, take care of you and just, like, guide you in the right direction because moving machin. And we all have to doc our part. And if you do still want to drop off your ballot early, is n on monday from 8 a. M. C to 5 p. M. On tuesday, they will open up early at 7 a. M. And remain here until 8 p. M. In San Francisco. Im Bailey Ocarroll, fox two news and aheaduof super tuesday, renewed calls to protect voter rights during the commemoration of bloody sunday, 59 years ago, when civil rights demonstrators were beaten by state troopers as they marched for Voting Rights, Vice PresidentKamala Harris joined in the annual crossing of the Edmund Pettus bridge in selma, alabama, and attorney general Merrick Garland addressed the congregation at a church in selma today, saying he believes Voting Rights is endangered in much of the country.

The act was passed in the wake of attacks by Alabama Law Enforcement against protesters who were attempting to in support of Voting Rights, andt yet progress in protecting the right to vote, especially for black americans, has never been steady.

Heres where the rain is and where it is not kind of see how widely scattered it is. Boy, that thunderstorms on friday, right . Those pretty awesome. Thats because of this cold air mass thats been sitting there over the top of us. It just creates a very unstable environment. And thats why we. There was a report of a tornado down in moss landing. National weather it out this afternoon ad said they couldnt find anything. Im going to guess if, especially if its moss landing, probably a waterspout that came up onto land, which at that point they fall apart pretty quick and there wasnt any damage that would indicate a continues.
