back from working CA polling station

[Fresh_Start]

community is above average affluent with a college campus.

Many college students filing provisional ballots
Noticeable number of party registration changes from REP and AIP to Democratic to vote for the Democratic candidates.

No changes from DEM to REP
Many changes from NPP to DEM

Pretty busy from opening to just a few minutes of closing..with a few intervals with voters out the door for provisional ballots.

Process was complicated, voters were notably patient and understanding.

Only one complete jerk.

15 hour day with 14 hours standing/walking so I'm pretty beat.

5. Thank you for your hard work.

[R B Garr]

6. Thanks for this feedback and your help.

Interesting about the noticeable changes from REP.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

28. I'm so cynical. Yet realistic.

I immediately thought REP and AIP were changing to vote for Sanders in order to help Trump.

Thanks for your hard work though. And report from the front lines.

[Lithos]

7. Awesome

Thank you!

8. "No changes from DEM to REP"

Why would anybody change from Dem to Rep?
There isn't much of a Repug race presidentialspeakingwise, is there?

[Fresh_Start]

12. California has Republican Presidential candidates...

although of course...what's the point.

I just wanted to be 'complete' in my observations.

9. Thank you for helping our democracy go forward.

[Tumbulu]

10. Thank you!

11. Would you say it was a normal than higher turnout? n/t

[Fresh_Start]

13. A lot more voters at the polling station..

then normal...since many NPP VBM turning in NPP ballot for NXD.
This was busier than the 2018 midterm general election (I worked the same district) so I have a good basis for comparison.

With the volume of provisionals...this is going to take time to finalize

[napi21]

14. I HOPE that means some Ppubs wanted to vote for a Dem and not because they were trying to

fudge the vote for who DT wants to run against.

[Fresh_Start]

15. my feeling was there was some appetite for Bloomberg...

but more appetite for messing up the democratic results.

[mahina]

16. Thank you for serving!

[SergeStorms]

17. Thank you for your hard work....

seeing that Democracy's wheels turned freely. Volunteers like you don't get enough credit, and are often overlooked with all the victories and defeats that make the news.

My hat is sincerely off to you, Fresh_Start!

18. Hope provisional ballots fare better in CA than they do in FL.

In Florida, only about 20% of provisional ballots get converted into votes.

[Fresh_Start]

29. California does a much better job, 2018 over 90% of provisional ballot became votes

[Dem2theMax]

21. Thank you for your hard work on behalf of democracy!

You are appreciated.

22. Because the GOP didn't really have a primary, do you think Rs switched to D to disrupt?

[SunSeeker]

25. Yes, that was the Operation Chaos Republicans called for, to get Rs to vote for Bernie.

23. Thank for your service to your country.

I really mean that. We would not have a democracy if it weren't for people like you actually making it work.

[Firebrand Gary]

24. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

[BigmanPigman]

26. Good for you!

27. Do you think that maybe they were republicans trying pick a weak candidate for Trump?
