Early Voter Turnout Heavy

Early voter turnout in California is heavy.

... a record number of voters for a gubernatorial race — 15,380,526 — were registered for Tuesday's vote. At late morning, his office said polling places around the state were reporting long lines and a shortage of parking places but that otherwise things were going well. People began strolling into a Hollywood polling place as soon as the doors were opened. Within a few minutes there were about 30 people waiting in line.

It was the heaviest early turnout Patti Negri said she had seen in 12 years as a polling supervisor. "I've never been so busy, ever," she said. "We had to do a lot of paperwork but people seem excited and ready to vote."

Update: Estimates are that 10 million voters will turn out in person, 2 million absentees.

The polls close at 8 pm. Our prediction today is the same as last night: Davis loses big, Arnold wins handily.
