stars, so to speak, had comfortable marches going in and people were wondering, why am i bothering? you put all of that together and you get low turnout. >> and it could be a little bit of the pandemic as well. some of the older voters who typically go out to vote are still concerned for their own health. we will see how it turns out in november. >> it could be, although, we make it so easy to vote here. we send the pallets to everybody and give them much opportunity ahead of time. easy places to drop off and you can mail it back, no charge. >> and you can register the date of and vote. it's pretty amazing. our civic responsibility. thank you so much. good to see you. well, the ballot is a bit confusing when it comes to california's senate race. alex padilla's name appear twice because governor newsom appointed him to kamala harris a seat when she won vice presidency. padilla is the winner this morning and will serve the rest
