We’re a mere seven days away from election day 2020 and while we aren’t certain we’ll have results for the presidential race that day, there are plenty of other state and local races and measures on the ballot to watch that might be a little clearer as the polls close across the country next Tuesday night.
Early vote centers opened this past weekend for in-person voting, and as KPCC/LAist reporter Josie Huang reports, more than 50,000 turned out to cast their vote at one of the 118 centers that started taking ballots on Saturday.
Today on AirTalk, we’ll check in on early voting in Los Angeles, talk about vote by mail ballots counted so far, plus we want to hear from you if you went to a vote center this weekend -- what was the experience and process like? Share with us by calling 866-893-5722.
