Excerpts:
Ventura County not only had record registration numbers for this election, but also headed into the Election Day with high early turnout.
Back in 2016, the county had received just over 145,000 ballots before the election, according to Miranda Nobriga, spokeswoman for the elections division. This year, 320,498, or 64%, were returned by mail or dropped off by Tuesday.
"So more than twice as many," Nobriga said. "Ventura County voters, they got the message loud and clear to return their ballots early."
