Hillary estimated to be leading 55% to 45% in early voting.

Early voting up big. Independents slightly down from 2008. Based on polling. I'm running around so no link. Hillary's best district is Palm Desert, Bernie's is Santa Barbara. Hillary also up big in San Diego area, Latino districts and African Anericans. Bernie up big around Carmel.


NOTE: I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT NEANS FOR THE STATEWIDE RESULT.

That would make it hard for Bernie to catch up with today's voting, since the turnout is said to be good but not great, and was very low in a couple of his stronger places.

They are the most reliable voting block either party has. If I were a candidate and had a choice of having older voters or younger voters supporting me, I'd pick older every time - they are far more likely to make it to the voting booth.

often not any repub races of dire importance. I know that all of my conservative family members fall into this category. Many of them are voting for Sanders today, because they can't get a repub presidential ballot without being registered, and they want to weaken Hillary going into the general.

Can't wait for Thanksgiving.

Santa Barbara is heavily liberal. The outlying areas like the Santa Ynez Valley are conservative, but Santa Barbara/Goleta/Isla Vista outvote them.

at least on the Dem's side 40-45% will vote today which is what they expected.

I've always considered Santa Barbara to be more conservative.
