back from working CA polling station [View all]

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.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
