Calif. Secretary of State Won't Predict Super Tuesday Voter Turnout
In an unusual move, California Secretary of State Debra Bowen has decided not to predict voter turnout for Tuesday's election. She says there are just too many variables this time around.
Bowen : You might be able to pick in a routine election based on the number of absentee applications and based on this and that, but we've never had a primary on February 5th where California was absolutely going to determine the outcome of the nominees in both the Republican and Democratic presidential primaries.
Roughly 56 percent of voters cast ballots in the November 2006 election. An analyst with the Public Policy Institute of California says they've noted record interest in this year's election, which bodes well for turnout.
