California is a big part of Super Tuesday, but don’t expect a big turnout in the state.
With little drama in the presidential primaries, voters have been slow to turn in their mail ballots so far, and lackluster participation is expected for this election.
Out of more than 22 million mail ballots issued to registered voters in early February, only about 16 percent were returned by mid-Tuesday.
“Turnout is probably going to be a record low for a presidential primary in California,” said Paul Mitchell, a Democratic political consultant and political data expert.
He predicted that less than a third of registered voters would cast ballots in California.
