Making history and expressing outrage may drive Californians to record turnout

SACRAMENTO — Here’s one election prediction from a nonpartisan expert: Californians will be so enthused about Kamala Harris they could vote in record numbers.

A huge Democratic turnout, of course, would help the party’s down-ticket candidates, especially in pivotal congressional races that could determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

But what’s so exciting about Harris?

First, she’s a fellow Californian, says Mark Baldassare, veteran pollster for the Public Policy Institute of California. There’ll be home state pride.
