It's the final push in the final hours of the 2020 election.
In Sacramento County, early voter turnout is at an all-time high for this day in the election cycle. So far 51 percent of registered voters have cast their ballots in this election.

Sacramento County Democrats passed out lawn signs at the downtown farmers' market.
