last week.

And speaking of new registrations, Nevada County now has more registered Dems
than Republicans. From Yuba Net


The Bernie Effect?

Registered Democrats now surpass Republicans for the first time - likely attributable to No Party Preference voters switching their registration to be able to vote in the democratic primary.

Democrats number 24,441, Republicans 23,264, No Party Preference 14,213 - with 2,316 American Independent, 880 Green, 715 Libertarian, 184 Peace&Freedom and 96 other voters rounding out the voter total.

Only registered voters who have claimed other parties cannot cross over.

That's sort of been the scandal as I understand. A large number of "no party preference" voters have had their registration mysteriously switched to libertarian or one of the other obscure liberal parties. Then they cannot vote democrat. Probably a lot of "no party prefs" are switching to democrat in hopes it stays that way.

Canceled something in NJ to be on Left Coast!!!

You don't suppose those damn internal polls they do say her favorable ratings are sucking big time in the state?

I've been meditating a lot lately that Calif is feeling the Bern! High votes reg's may be a good sign. Please let that be the case.
