Here we are finally! Election Day 2024, Tuesday November 5th. (See below for what you can expect from the Rag today.)
About 83% of the nearly 27 million adults in California who are eligible to vote are registered. And millions of Californians have already voted.
In her latest report on California’s voter registration, Secretary of State Shirley Weber — a local girl! — said a record 22.6 million Californians are registered to vote, which is 548,211 more than four years ago.
Democrats make up 45% of registered voters, Republicans 25% and no party preference 22%. The number of Republicans in the state ticked up slightly compared with 2020 — by about 1 percentage point, the secretary of state report showed.
Rag photog Charles Landon was in front of the OB Library yesterday and snapped these shots of OBceans voting.
What the Rag is doing today
We plan to follow the election, of course, and will have a “live blogging” late this afternoon and into the evening, and even tomorrow around the times the polls close.
