Please tell me you're in a strongly Democratic precinct. :-)

I'm in Assembly District 41.

When I voted in the primary, I think there were two Democratic booths, one "other" booth and a single Republican booth. I was told that reflected the level of registration.

However, at that time the overwhelming majority of people who showed up were Republicans. As I remember, I had to wait quite a while to vote because of that. Of course one likely reason for this is that Gray Davis was the only serious Democratic contender, while there were two distinct Republican choices.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if the same people who showed up to nominate Simon will appear to elect Simon. I consider the modest turnout to be encouraging news, but certainly not the last word.
