Solano County was just over that with 80.68%. Marin County reached almost 90% turnout -- that put the North Bay county's turnout on par with 2016, but it was a little less than 2008. Santa Clara County also saw the highest turnout there since Obama ran for his first term. San Francisco saw historic numbers with 86.23% turnout -- that's the same turnout percentage as 1956 when President Eisenhower won reelection. San Mateo County had a turnout of 85.7% -- the last time the county saw the turnout that high was in 1968 when Nixon won his first term.
The pandemic also made this election historic. The numbers show vote-by-mail was extremely popular. In Alameda and Contra Costa Counties -- more than 75% of voters cast their ballots by mail.
