Independent Voters are getting boxed out of their access to the "open" Democratic primary, and it's disproportionately Latinos and younger voters.
A shockingly low 4.5% of Latinos who are independents and got a ballot in the mail have taken the step to get a Dem ballot.

If the presidential campaigns want to win CA, their first, second and third priorities should be to get these folks Dem ballots. All this data is in @Political_Data system! Come on @BernieSanders @MikeBloomberg @PeteButtigieg @ewarren @amyklobuchar @JoeBiden @TomSteyer
The 95.5% of Latinos who got non-partisan ballots can simply call or email their county registrar. The Presidential campaigns can facilitate this - for a lot less $$ than a statewide TV buy. Let's not deny millions of voters the chance to participate in this upcoming primary.
Among voters who are in Vote Center Counties and got by-mail ballots, but didn't actually choose to become permanent vote by mail, only 6% got these crossover Democratic Primary ballots. Among those who haven't ever voted by mail, it's just 3%.
