Early totals of returned Mail
Ballots in San Diego
County reveal a clear
“enthusiasm gap”
among the Parties.
Figures released by the
SD Registrar of Voters
show Republicans made
up 39% of Requested
mail ballots…. but the
GOP now comprises
44 % of ballots actually
returned to date.
Democrats are static at
36%, while independents
drop from 21% to 17%,
and minor parties fall from
4% to 3%.
These figures are current
as of June 3, 2010.
Many observers believe Mail Ballots will make up an outright majority of San Diego county votes in the June 8th primary.
This is the latest sign, already noted by National Pollsters, that rank-and-file Republicans are more motivated this year than their rivals. That was clearly NOT the case in 2006 or 2008.
If you have a Vote-by-Mail ballot, mark it and send it in. If you forget, you can still turn it in at your local polling place Election Day or at the Registrar’s Kearny Mesa office.
