Today is Super Tuesday
Today is Super Tuesday – 24 states including California will cast ballots for presidential primary
candidates, and in California,
we’ll vote on a handful of propositions. In Amador
County, 20,638 people are
registered to vote – 9,562 Republicans, 7,232 Democrats. 2,770 are registered
as Decline to State – Decline to State voters can ask for Democratic
Party or American Independent Party ballots, but they will not be able to cast
votes for Republican Primary candidates. Amador County Elections Department says
that about 500 more voters are registered in the county since November of last
year. That mirrors statewide registration figures – the California Secretary of
State reports that 240,000 Californians signed up to vote just since early
December. The polls open
at 7 am this morning and stay open until 8 tonight.
