43. It may surprise you to how many of my neighbors tossed out their mailed in ballots in 2020

Mon Aug 9, 2021, 10:36 PM

Aug 2021

because they forgot about and it put it to the side, and waited too late to fill it out and mail it in time.

And that was a Presidential Election of huge consequences. Election? What Election? Didn't we just have one?

Lot's of these people in my complex. Seniors, mostly women. Getting by. Certainly knew when Gov. Newsom sent $600 to us, and stimulus funds for SNAP since the shutdown began last year. Oh yeah, but it when comes to voting, meh.

I'm pounding on their doors reminding them the election is coming, "oh yeah, will get it done"

I didn't believe Gray could get recalled. When he lost, I was devastated. I will never believe in polls again in this State.

It's the actual TURNOUT.
