Voters urged to cast ballots at county’s satellite voting locations

SAN DIEGO — The San Diego County Registrar of Voters says 81% of eligible voters in the county are registered and can thus participate in the March 3 primary election.

“We have the highest number of registered voters this election than any other election that we’ve ever conducted at 1,825,237 registered voters,” Michael Vu with the Registrar of Voters told FOX 5 Friday.

Some voters are taking care of business early to avoid crowds on Super Tuesday.

“It’s nice to do it on our own time – to be able to come in, register and vote. To do it all in one day is really convenient,” one early voter said.

To help cut down on election-day chaos, the Registrar of Voters is opening four satellite voting locations to give people a chance to register and cast their ballots early.

Vu says around 400,000 people in the county who are eligible to vote have not registered. Those individuals, along with 524,000 non-partisan voters, are encouraged to use the satellite locations that open this weekend.

Those locations include the San Marcos Community Center, Carmel Mountain Ranch Community Park, the Spring Valley Community Center and the South Region Live Well Center in Chula Vista.

The satellite voting locations will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday through Monday, with extended hours on Super Tuesday.

“The public should expect that there’s going to be an ever-increasing line here at the Registrar of Voters’ office and at satellite locations,” Vu said. “If you have anything to do this weekend, get to one of these satellite locations.”

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

By
(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfield logged hundreds of hours of

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

By
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his attorney a

Bergeron, Pastrnak and Bruins finish off Capitals in 5 games

By
WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak dazzled on offense, Tuukka Rask was rock solid in net and the Boston Bruins are moving on to the second round of the playoffs. Bergeron scored twice at crucial times after Pastrnak’s  highlight-reel  goal, Rask made 40 saves and the Bruins eliminated the Washington Capitals in five games with a 3-1 victory Sunday night. Bergeron delivered the dagger with 7:35 left to set up a second-round showdown against either the Pittsburgh Penguins or New York Islanders. Chants of “TUUKK!” emanated from a large group of black and gold-clad Boston fans who were part of the limited-capacity sellout crowd of 5,333. Those were occasionally interrupted by “We want the Cup!” — the trophy the Bruins last won a decade ago after a 39-year title drought. They’re 12 wins away, thanks to their best players dominating in Game 5. Pastrnak made it look easy putting the puck behind his back and through his legs, assisted on Bergeron’s first goal and was par
