Amid reports of people waiting over the weekend up to six hours to cast a ballot in the “battleground” county of Los Angeles (just kidding on that battleground part), the LA County registrar has assured that there will be plenty of ballots, but recommends voting between 9 and 4 (polls are open in L.A. 7 am to 8 pm). I’m planning to be at my polling place right at 7. If blogging is delayed tomorrow morning, you will know what I’m doing.
Also, the LA Registrar, Dean Logan, sends along the following statistics: “As of today, we have 613,622 voted vote-by-mail ballots returned, which equates to a voter turnout of more than 14% already in house; In 2004, the number of inactive voters who voted, thus ‘reactivating’ their registrations was approximately 14,000 countywide.”
