People may think administering elections is easy. It’s not. It’s very complicated. In Tulare County alone, there are 161 different ballot types for the upcoming election, due to variously overlapping congressional districts, state assembly and senatorial districts, city council districts, school board areas, hospital zones, and water districts.

On May 30, Visalia became part of a national record of locations of vehicles plowing into crowds gathered to stand for progressive ideals.
