"This potential PSPS event is actually the strongest pressure gradient difference- which really drives the wind and drives the dry conditions since 2021," said Vice President of PG&E's North Coast region Dave Canny.
"There are only two polling locations that are currently forecasted and we don't anticipate needing to shut off power til after the polls close. But just in case..." said Canny.
"If we do see power outages that affect polling places, there can be emergency measures taken to extend voting by an hour or two to make sure people who are there have a chance to cast their ballot," said Political Science Professor Melinda Jackson.
PG&E is taking this week's November fire danger potential seriously as they warned of potential power shutoffs including parts of Contra Costa, Alameda, Napa, Sonoma, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Solano counties.
