I exercise my right to vote by not registering and just bending over and paying my taxes that keep raising. No point to vote, anything political is a waste of my time.
It is not low! Ca. does not clear there voter rolls. My ex moved out of the state 9 yrs ago. He is still registered to vote in Ca. I tried 6 yrs ago to get his name removed, the result was I got an email saying that he had to write or email them –he ” himself” had to request his name be removed. He has not voted since 2011. I have not spoken to him since 2012 and don’t intend too. My son also told them when he voted last yr, that his dad’s name should be removed. I voted in Oregon where I am now, but am still registered in Ca. and my mail in ballot was not used. The signature cards sent out late July were not signed for me or my ex, so we should not have received a mail in ballot., but ballots were sent out and not used. How many thousands are like that, because people move. People die.
I think Cards cast is how many were mailed out. Voters cast is how many were returned. Some may have chosen to go in person and I don’t think that number is reflected here.
I don’t understand this. Mr. Mayor is there a citation for this information, so I can try to understand it better. What are Cards Cast vs. Voters Cast? Looking at this without more information, it seems like twice as many ballots were mailed out than we have registered voters. Please and thank you.
@slp – A ballot has one or more “cards” which are the sheets of paper you use to vote. My ballot had five cards for example. Thus I would be reported as five cards and one voter. Would Claycord ban me if I changed my name to 5-Card WC Resident?
The ratio of cards to voters is 4.96 for vote-by-mail, 4.99 for vote in person, and 4.97 overall. Some people either don’t return all of the cards, live in areas where their ballot had four or fewer cards, or a cards have been lost or not tabulated yet.

Yet they are saying Joe B got the biggest voter turnout ever LOL yeah right Here’s an example Contra Costa a democratic donkey brain area mainly due to demographic change and 60 years of cultural Marxist within our academics … biggest fraud in history of America 1030 at night trumps about to win every swing state then the swing states close then at 4 o’clock in the morning Joe Biden is winning gains 50000 votes and none for trump yeah right. So the media and all the Democrats are telling me that you were more excited for Joe Biden than Obama in 2008? Bs
The division you speak of began with Mayor Daily and Joseph Kennedy in Chicago, 1960. It has been continually perpetuated by the democrat party ever since. Believe what you want, but you will miss Trump in 2 years time. RIP Constitutional Republic.
It was widely reported that several states had rules about when mail-in ballots could be cast. California and Florida counted them ahead of time and you got results right away. Pennsylvania, for some bizarre reason waits to count mail-in ballots until after in-person votes were counted.
Trump urged his followers to vote in-person
Biden urged his followers to vote by mail
So now, as several states go through the laborious process of counting all those mail-in ballots of course they overwhelmingly favor Biden.
You mention Democrats being more enthused for Biden in 2020 than they were for Obama in 2008. Yes of course. Voter registration efforts have gone way up (on both sides) and more importantly: people have seen what happened to the country after four years of Trump at the helm. So yes Biden is getting more votes, from democrats, from independents (myself included, and even from some Republicans who have very vocally discussed their frustration with his antics.
Bill you are correct sir No way Bumbling Biden could not have hit those high numbers. as for California as it has been beyond me how it keeps getting landslide numbers for the Democraps ?
I know people can’t all be that brain dead to vote for the status quo for our state misleaders. there seems to be false ballots and counting going on as some people on here state.

Those stats don’t match up with the State list of returned ballots (by county). As of 11/2/20 the state list shows 396,809 returned ballots in Contra Costa County. If you add the people who voted at the polls on election day and those who dropped off ballots on election day the total number of voters is much greater.
Also, the County Election website says as of 11/5/20 there are 180,000 ballots to be processed: 175,000 vote by mail and 5,000 provisional/conditional voter registration.
You got that right, RTC! There are many ballots yet to be counted and it is irresponsible journalism to even state that statistic without a big semi-official noted next to it in the title…
As of November 5, we estimate there are 180,000 ballots to be processed.
175,000 Vote by Mail
5,000 Provisional/Conditional Voter Registration
_____________________________________
180,000 Total Estimate
Are those 180,000 included in the county reports about the percentage of those that have voted? It depends on how you define “cast” vs “tabulated” for ballots.
I used a ballot drop box mid-day on Tuesday and my ballot is not showing as “received” by the county yet.
Once the dust has settled though It would be interesting to know if and when people who did not vote this year last voted. I’m assuming many of the people who did not vote either don’t live in the area any more or may have been registered to vote while getting a driver’s license. I signed in and see that I’m listed as “Active.” Presumably there’s a process to cull out inactive people but are they still counted as a “registered voter?”
Here is the problem. Many people get bits and pieces of the news from bad places that they take for the gospel. They don’t have time to watch Fox News or they have heard it is all right wing garbage from friends or neighbors. You may be a fake news watcher but I can assure you Fox news covers stories much better. They have a mix of people on Fox, it is not all conservative. If you don’t watch it you miss out on many important pieces of news.

The media and corrupt election officials always “call” election results before the votes are fully counted
The government officials think that they are above the law and can do what they want and the Marxists think that they can cheat because they “deserve” to win because of systemic racism “all means necessary”
Truly toxic combination
They are crossing their fingers nobody notices or cares and no lawsuits will arise
If there are 180,000 ballots to be counted there is no way that they can determine the outcome of these races and measures yet
This is important because there is a new Marxist who is claiming a seat on the MDUSD board

I feel so manipulated by this whole election process. Just on the local level I am confused by this chart. I mean, I was sent a mail-in ballot, but I dropped it off in person to the registrars office several weeks ago, so based on this chart, which category do I fall?
I feel manipulated that vote tallying across the nation was coming in fast and furious and then all of the sudden halted in certain states right before one of the candidates was close to reaching the finish line?
Finally, I have seem multiple accounts from Republican voters in AZ and NV who said that when they check their Registrars office, it indicates that their vote was rejected of voided.
I really think that there is something wrong/sinister/fishy happening with these elections.
Ca is a one party ruled state. If your a conservative your vote will NEVER MATTER! And yes, the leftists planned this whole China Plague nightmare to remove the greatest President this country has had in decades. All because they just don’t like him and Hillary was supposed to win.

I would agree that Trump doesn’t have the best demeanor but financially the country was doing great lots of people Who actually work were making good money. The covid scamdemic is a clever ploy to achieve the mail in voter fraud. Who da f was Enthusiastic for Joe I sniff children Biden? I might’ve seen a couple signs here in there but nowhere near the enthusiasm for Obama back in 2008 or trumps current base. Then you match that up with a low voter turn out in this county alone it paints the real picture “fraud”. But hey nobody knows who’s going to win at this point I’m not sure how you don’t see it as shady that hundreds of thousands of votes come in at the last second for Mr. unenthusiasm in Wisconsin. This could possibly start a Civil War
Conspiracy theorists will say the most inane things.
If the “scamdemic” was cooked up by the Democrats to encourage voting by mail then why are people all over the planet dealing with it? Why did Italy have to go on lockdown after the terrifying number of deaths that they experience?
It wasn’t so much enthusiasm for Biden as it was a referendum on the terrible state Trump has left our country in.

The company that owns the counting machines has business dealings with wait for it (Clintons). Makes your stomach hurt.
It’s unfortunate that everyone doesn’t exercise their right to vote.

Fake news and pollsters gave Trump no chance. Could have caused people not voting.

If people are so easily dissuaded by “fake news and pollsters”, it’s probably just as well that they didn’t vote.
