Election workers are already processing mail in ballots with the help of a high tech sorting machine. It scans envelops, places the ballot on a tray and automatically sorts the votes by prescient. Eventually, all the ballots will be taken downtown for tabulation.
Fresno County Clerk Victor Salazar said because of the huge turn out, it could take 28-days to announce the final results. Salazar said, "But there will be thousands of vote-by-mail ballots that will be delivered to the polling places throughout the county. Those have to be verified and processed, so that will take some time."
Time is what early voters wanted to save for a history making election. Kevin Harris is an early voter from Fresno who said, "Tomorrow is going to be a day where 50-percent of this nation is going to be upset. 50-percent is going to be in great celebration."
Tuesday, polling locations will open at 7 AM and close at 8 PM. As long as you are in line by 8 PM, the elections clerk said you will be able to case a ballot.
