Voting and ballot counting appeared to be going smoothly across the Bay Area on an otherwise rainy, overcast Election Day, as voters cast their ballots in the first major election since unproven and false claims of election meddling began dominating the national political conversation.
“It’s going well,” said Michael Borja, a spokesman for the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters. “We have everything set up. It’s been going pretty smooth beside a little flooding in our parking lot. And we hope people continue to come in and continue to vote.” In Santa Clara County, 292,464 ballots had been submitted and processed by the registrar’s office by the end of the day Monday — equaling a turnout of nearly 28% of the county’s roughly 1 million registered voters, Borja said. That figure is expected to rise to between 55% and 65% by the end of the day, he added. To encourage a greater turnout, the county opened 103 voting centers and established 100 drop-off locations.
About 207,000 ballots had been received in Contra Costa County as of Monday night out of the county’s more-than 700,000 registered voters, said Tommy Gong, chief deputy clerk recorder for Contra Costa County. That 29% turnout rate also was expected to grow significantly as people rush to beat the deadline for casting votes.
