[GPSCC-chat] Registrations by party in Santa Clara County

[Valerie D. Face]

Hi Spencer, all,

I like the idea of a mailing to some of the voters with no party preference!

One thing we should bear in mind is that absentee ballots get sent out on or around October 7 and voters begin to send them back about a week later.  It would be good to know the breakdown of permanent absentees vs. non-absentees in our target population.  The absentees are probably more than 60% overall.

There's also the possibility that some of the non-absentees may have signed up to be absentees between May 30 and now.  Perhaps not a lot of them, but some.

FYI, here's an article, "Early Ad Barrage Coming As Mail-In Ballots Change Elections," that I found while searching for info on when absentee ballots go out.  It talks about how the timing of election advertising and (formerly) "October Surprise" revelations is changing due to the high number of absentee voters.

Best wishes,

Hello, All:


       Jim Doyle went (twice) to the Office of the Registrar of Voters 
for Santa Clara County to get the data on registered voters, most 
recently on May 30.  From that list, I get a tally by party; see below.  
That list contains information on 341,611 Democrats, 212,636 "No Party 
Preference", 174,102 Republicans, 15,151 American Independent, 4,112 
Greens, 4,057 Libertarians, and 1,800 Peace & Freedom, plus roughly 
1,200 people in 21 other parties, 4 of which have only one registered 
voter in Santa Clara County.  Jim suggested it would be nice to send 
something to the 212,636 people with "No Party Preference".  If we tried 
a mailing, at $0.45 for a stamp and $0.05 for paper and envelop, that's 
$100,000.  "We too wee" for that, as Jim noted.
