CA absentee voters

Quite common in California. Many, especially seniors, are permanent absentee voters who automatically get absentee ballot mailed to them.

And, most of the absentee already cast are for Hillary. This was before the balance started to shift.

As of Saturday, more than 1.6 million California voters have already turned in their absentee ballots, according to the secretary of State’s office.

Time to change to laws to accommodate people who don't vote.



Edit to add tag, before I get alerted for suppressing the vote.

And it pays better than jury duty in SF. Election days here are lots of fun for Democrats who are very serious about staying involved in community, state and national affairs.

Until recently Hillary was leading by 10 points. Now it is only 2.

We all know that the only poll that matter is what happens on election day, but I am concerned that some couch potatoes may decide that Sanders is worth a look.

Will not help, though. They have to be registered as Democrats.

Just posted an interesting observation on GDP which probably will sink. I think that I am on many ignore list.

I wonder if Hillary's tremendous speech and evisceration of Trump yesterday (June 2) will sway more voters over the weekend? Sanders didn't do himself any favors by attacking Hillary's speech and questioning her foreign policy, while everyone else was swooning and/or giving her kudos. Sanders could've taken that opportunity to tag team Trump with her. But... no.

I'm predicting at least a 7 point win for Hillary, probably more, possibly double digits.
