In the ongoing search for large, open, safe places to vote in Los Angeles this November, officials have tapped Banc of California Stadium in Exposition Park as a vote center that will serve thousands.

The announcement came as L.A. County voting officials continue to recruit large-scale venues across the region to serve voters in an election that will be like no other.

The stadium — home to Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles Football Club — will be among scores of Vote Centers operating in advance of the Nov. 3 vote and on election day itself. L.A. County is sending mail-in ballots to all voters for this year’s general election, but also offering vote centers as a place where people can vote in person or drop off their ballots, if they choose.

“Hosting a vote center at the Banc of California Stadium allows us to meet public health standards for physical distancing while ensuring voters have access to in-person voting options in the Presidential election,” Registrar/County Clerk Dean Logan said in a joint announcement with the team and the Secretary of State’s Office.

1. It's happening in almost every ML park now. All pro/college stadiums should facilitate the vote.

Done right, we may see a lot of newly registered people turn out in urban centers to elect Joe Biden. Given the obvious voter-suppression plan wrt USPS, this may be a colossal miscalculation by Trump and his braintrust.
