It's early yet, so we must not lose hope. I think we have more momentum. n/t

Unless I am reading this wrong, it looks like Democratic ballots are 2:1 to republican ones

Lots of Dems will vote late, because we're obsessing over how to vote on question 2.

(1,859 posts)12. Me too. They were quick
But I took mine down to the County Election Office. I had some chores in that area anyway.

We're of course voting No on the recall itself, but a lot of us are debating whether to leave the ballot blank on question 2, or vote for one of the loon candidates listed who is less awfull than frontrunner Elder, or write someone in.
JohnSJ
(96,958 posts)11. I hope not. If they are in doubt they should just write-in Newsom
padfun
(1,859 posts)13. Kevin Paffrath is polling the highest
So I went with him. He is inexperience but so are all of the choices.
And write-ins wont count as a vote.
