Close Race for San Diego Mayor

[RandySF]

A new SurveyUSA poll in San Diego, with half or more of voters having already returned a ballot, finds the mayoral race a dead heat with Kevin Faulconer (R) at 47% and David Alvarez (D) at 46%.

1. Yup, good politics USA is covering my local nooz

I don't have to bother, nor would I bother for DU.

Nor will go into why these elections might signal a change. If it is not on national news, it does not matter.

4. This is actually good news, most Republicans have already voted

The Republican Party mails out Absentee Ballots to ALL registered Republicans so they don't have to HASSLE with going to the polls on election day. They have been doing this for two decades or more and that is why they have such good turn-out for their side. That the Democrat is even in the ball park at this stage is good news. Most of those at the polls on election day will be Democrats. Democrats standing in line, after finally finding a place to park and possibly even missing some work. Republicans don't have to deal with these bothers because they have "Vote By Mail" As soon as Democrats figure that one out we should be unstopable.

5. Of course you need to apply individually for absentee ballots

Hell, lord knows I considered it after missing the last election due to a family emergency.

But after that... pretty much. I will abstain why I think this, on this site. It really matters not to DU. Though I expect a long night tomorrow, going over returns. Again, none of that will be posted here. Unless NBC covers it, it does not matter to DU.

6. why bother
