Over 230k returned now in City of Los Angeles. We're probably somewhere around like 20%-25% of what final turnout will ultimately look like?

3.1M statewide returned now on the tracker. More still coming in from weekend, but all 58 counties are on the map now.
Using day 9 as the comparison point since most of the ABEV dates are marked as yesterday and prior:
Dem returns - highest share of the last three generals
Rep returns - lowest share of the last three generals
SOS reported 3.2M as of yesterday, so likely to see a big jump tomorrow and from here on out. Probably around 20–25% of the eventual electorate (unless we're in for a big one!).
