In order to follow CDC social distancing measures, the voting center staff will be wearing face masks and gloves. Sanitizer and handwashing stations will also be available on site for public use.

“Voting makes me feel a sense of calmness during this unforeseen time that is COVID-19 we all have to come together, and part of that includes voicing our concerns at the polls.” said Diana Lipton a Santa Clarita Valley voter.

Everyone can mail in their ballots for free. Why add this and stop sheltering in place? Also more costly for gas used and high taxes.

I thought Governor Newsom said this was vote by mail? I can’t get a haircut, go to a florist etc. but it’s okay to go to a voting booth. Is someone going to be doing medical checks and sanitizing the voting location after each person leaves? Another example of government confusion. Please don’t tell me those that come to the voting location didn’t receive a postage free envelop that was mailed to all voters.
