California Democrats that don't vote on Tuesday will have Steve Garvey as one of their Senators [View all]

I just finished my California mail in ballot. There are two Senate Contests one for the full 6 year term and the other for the four year term. Mail in ballots are at an all time low. But there are still a bunch of votes for Steve Garvey from older conservatives. Steve Garvey for California is like voting for Herschel Walker in Georgia. Sure I might have all the facts on this issue and I didn't think it was as big of a deal . When I looked at the ballot however it became a big deal.... Probably someone out there has more info on this. I've read in the news that Steve Garvey is beating Katie Porter. Adam Schiff and Katie Porter is who I voted for. Tell your friends it's important to vote on Tuesday. No Trump loving Steve Garvey!!!!
