San Mateo County is currently conducting a special election to determine if voters will grant the Board of Supervisors the authority to remove Sheriff Christina Corpus, who faces serious allegations including abuse of power and inappropriate conduct. With a low voter turnout of about 19.5% as of Monday, over 440,000 ballots have been sent out. Corpus, who denies the allegations against her, claims she has faced unfair treatment since taking office, while officials plan to ensure that every ballot is counted accurately.
You're always hopeful for the greatest turnout possible but special elections generally have lower voter turnout.
Some of the allegations include abuse of power, retaliation, having an inappropriate relationship with her chief-of-staff, and using racist and homophobic slurs; she denies all wrongdoing.
