California's primary is expected to play a critical role in picking a Democratic presidential nominee Tuesday.
'This campaign has taken off':In Los Angeles County, one of the nation's most populous when it comes to registered voters, the number of polling places is being sharply reduced — from about 4,500 to 976. And fancy new balloting machines could lead to confusion or a slowdown as voters learn to use them.
President Donald Trump, as a shoo-in on the Republican ballot, need not worry. Democrats, however, will be voting in a hotly contested primary in which no candidate yet has a lock on the nomination. Twenty candidates are on the Democratic ballot, including several who have already dropped out. Instead of having to request a vote-by-mail ballot, those registered in 14 California counties, including populous ones like Sacramento, Fresno, Santa Clara and Orange, are automatically receiving a ballot.
The remaining voters will have to see if their voting location has changed and, if they wait until Tuesday, face the specter of lines to vote.
