Fresno County Voter Turnout Rising Ahead of Tuesday, Nov. 3 Election Day
Fresno County Clerk James Kus reported that early voter turnout is climbing and tracking near the middle of recent gubernatorial election participation levels as Tuesday's midterm election approaches. On Oct. 23, the Trump Justice Department delivered a demand letter to Kus naming 670 registered voters who federal officials claim — without evidence — may not be U.S. citizens, requesting personal records and ballot segregation. Kus said the federal government has been silent since the letter arrived and that it has not impacted ongoing registration or voting processes. Fresno County is operating 54 vote centers and 69 ballot drop boxes to assist voters before Election Day.
