HAVE
HAVE YOUR
HAVE YOUR NEXT TRAFFIC UPDATE COMING UP IN 14 MINUTES. WELL, IT'S A DATE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU.
SIX OH THREE NOW TO THE TWENTY
TWENTY PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
SIX DAYS AWAY FROM THIS
MORNING , CALIFORNIA ON TRACK
TO SHATTER VOTING RECORDS THIS
ELECTION MORE THAN SEVEN POINT
SIX MILLION BALLOTS HAVE
ALREADY BEEN CAST.
YEAH.
THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE
SAYS THAT'S MORE THAN ONE THIRD
OF ALL BALLOTS THAT WERE
ISSUED.
AND EXPERTS SAY THAT THAT'S
GOING TO LEAD TO A RECORD
BREAKING TURNOUT.
>> I THINK IT'S A GUARANTEE
THAT CALIFORNIA'S GOING TO HAVE
THE LARGEST RAW VOTER TURNOUT
THAT WE'VE EVER SEEN IN THE
STATE'S HISTORY.
A LOT OF THAT IS ATTRIBUTABLE
TO THE FACT THAT CALIFORNIA
SECRETARY STATE ALEX P.D.A AND
STATE LAWMAKERS AND THE
GOVERNOR HAVE BEEN DOING SO
MUCH TO INCREASE THE TOTAL
REGISTRATION IN CALIFORNIA OVER
50 PERCENT TURNOUT.
HE ALSO SAYS ABOUT FOUR TIMES
AS MANY CALIFORNIANS HAVE VOTED
EARLY THIS YEAR COMPARED TO
THIS POINT IN THE LAST
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
NOW INPERSON EARLY VOTING IS
UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW AND
SACRAMENTO COUNTY OFFICIALS
WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WHILE
ANYONE CAN WATCH THE ELECTORAL
PROCESS UP CLOSE, THIS ISN'T AN
OPEN INVITATION.
NO.
IT'S SOMETHING CALLED PULL
WATCHGING WHICH IS LEGAL BUT
THERE ARE STRICT NEW RULES AND
GUIDELINES THAT YOU NEED TO
FOLLOW.
OUR KEVIN JOHN WITH THE ABC 10
VOTER ACCESS TEAM IS LIVE AT
THE LARGEST VOTE CENTER IN THE
COUNTY WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED
TO KNOW AND HE'S TALKING ABOUT
INTIMIDATION.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
WAUDIO INTIMIDATION I ONE
OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT THEY'RE
TRYING TO LOOK OUT FOR THIS
YEAR.
BUT YES, I'M HERE RIGHT IN
FRONT OF GOLDEN ONE CENTER AND
WITH A RECORD TURNOUT OF VOTERS
ANTICIPATED THIS YEAR AT THE
POLLS.
WELL, THAT MAKES IT MORE LIKELY
THAT VOTERS COULD ENGAGE IN A
LEGAL PEER WATCHGING SO I WANT
TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS KNOW
EVERYTHING BEFORE HEADING TO
THE POLLS BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT
OF NEW SET OF GUIDELINES AND
RESTRICTIONS.
NOW TAKE A LOOK AT THIS RIGHT
HERE ON YOUR SCREEN.
THIS IS THE LATEST NOW BECAUSE
OF THE PANDEMIC THIS YEAR,
POLLWATCHERS MUST MAKE AN
APPOINTMENT.
CHECK IN.
WEAR A MASK AND SOCIAL DISTANCE
AT ALL TIMES.
NOW KEEP IN MIND WALK INS ARE
NOT ALLOWED.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN
APPOINTMENT.
ALSO IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY,
OBSERVERS AREN'T ALLOWED TO
DISCUSS POLITICS, BRING IN
RECORDING DEVICES, TOUCH
BALLOTS OR MAKE PHYSICAL
CONTACT WITH POLL WORKERS.
AMONG MANY OTHER RULES WERE
ALLOWED TO OBSERVE THE WORLD.
>> YES, AS IT HAPPENS.
BUT THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO
INTERFERE WITH THE PROCESS.
>> NOW KEEP IN MIND IF YOU
DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES AND ANY
FORM OF VOTER INTIMIDATION
RIGHT NOW THAT CAN COST YOU A
FINE AND EVEN JAIL TIME.
NOW ELECTION OFFICIALS SAY
ANYONE WHO ENGAGES IN VOTER
INTIMIDATION WILL BE ESCORTED
OFF THE PREMISES.
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT THEY TAKE VERY SERIOUS
HERE.
OF COURSE THEY WANT NO
INTIMIDATION WHEN ANY AND
EVERYONE IS COMING TO CAST
THEIR BALLOTS.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS
NEW SET OF GUIDELINES AND
RULES, YOU CAN FIND THAT ON OUR
WEB SITE ABC 10 DOT COM SLASH
ELECTION INFORMATION WOLF.
I KNOW THAT WAS A WHOLE LOT I
JUST GAVE YOU.
BUT VERY IMPORTANT WHEN HEADING
TO THE POLLS, KEVIN , THERE'S A
LOT GOING ON AND THERE'S A LOT
OF INFORMATION TO SHARE AND WE
THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.
ALL RIGHT.
