Presidential elections
FILE - In this Monday, March 2, 2020 file photo, a man wearing a mask as a precaution against passing or receiving germs casts his ballot on the eve of Super Tuesday, at a voting center in Sacramento, Calif. On Friday, June 19, 2020, The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online incorrectly asserting all California registered to vote as an independent will not be able to vote Republican in 2020. Information contained in the post does not apply to the general election this fall. During California’s presidential primary election on March 3, independent voters, also known as “no party preference” voters, could vote in the Democratic presidential primary without changing their party affiliation, but not in the Republican primary.
