🛑Precinct 590 in El Cerrito, CA is OUT of PAPER BALLOTS.🛑 A line has formed to vote on the touchscreen device (a Ballot Marking Device which saves a BARCODE, not the list of voters' choices, then runs that thru the opscan). Officials were notified of the shortage hours ago.
7:30 pm — mass confusion and a very long line inside the precinct now

In 2014, California had historically low voter turnout — only 42% of registered voters participated in the general election, 25% in the primary. Different reasons are cited for not voting after elections, but one of the most consistent reasons: work or school conflicts.
