1. None, but I know a few who registered just to vote against Davis |

That guy has a real hornet's nest stirred up in this state.

2. ALL PREDICTIONS CALL FOR RECORD TURNOUT |
|
for a "special election" that is. Still unbelievable to me that if the recall passes the winner could have 15% of the vote.
This means if the recall passes narrowly,say 51-49% , and the new gov wins with 15% of the vote
three times more people will have voted against the recall than for the new governor.
Those wascally wepubwicans.

4. i don't think it's private |
|
there was a story in the news a few days ago, when the appeals court decision was still tentative, saying that the number of absentee ballots being returned had fallen precipitously because of the uncertainty.
i went to a training session for election officers last night, and the trainer announced what the current number was for our county. i don't remember the actual number, but i think it was about 1/3 of the total number of absentees sent out. the point was that we have to be prepared for a lot of the others - the 2/3 - to show up at the polls on election day, wanting to cast their absentee ballot.
if there is going to be a record turnout, it's gonna be a long day for poll workers. we were instructed that because of the unusual format of the ballot cards (one race occupying parts of 3 cards), the ballots will require an extra manual processing step... this will add hours to the time that poll workers have to serve.

5. depends on the weather |
|
I'm betting that many of the new pro-Ahhnold voters aren't hardcore about voting.
If the weather is crappy, or something else comes up, they are likely to just stay home and watch it on tv.

from issues A-Z. One of the first things he said is that there is no way in hell, he would vote for Arnold. :)
