While things here in Southern California lack the political intensity of races in Virginia and New Jersey, we do have elections happening in Los Angeles County today. There was only one race on my ballot, and I’m going to drop my absentee ballot off later today at a polling place. I will be out with students observing polling places in our local area all day, and of course will report on anything interesting or unusual. But as turnout is likely to be very low in our area today, I doubt we will see many people in polling places.
