California is often seen as the first to launch innovative, progressive laws, but the 2022 midterm elections could turn out to be a reckoning if the voter turnout keeps dwindling for Democrats.
As of Thursday, the number of Democratic early votes is down 65% compared to last year, when Gov. Gavin Newsom faced a recall, said GOP Senate candidate Mark Meuser, quoting figures from the California Republican Party.Republican turnout is down 50%, but a greater majority of that party favor voting in person than the Democrats.

He has committed to cutting red tape, reducing the cost of living, and improving quality of life issues such as water, infrastructure, and homelessness.Democratic incumbent Alex Padilla was appointed to fill Vice President Kamala Harris’s seat in 2021. He is a former Los Angeles City Councilman and California secretary of state.
Republican Mark Meuser, a constitutional rights attorney, was the runner-up in the state’s jungle primary.
