hey @kcoronel, I just started working on this and wanted to get some clarification. Should I be viewing the California SoS site as someone who wants to specifically find out where I can drop off my ballot (what BallotNav helps with) or as someone who wants to know more about the voting/election process in general? Just want to make sure I have the scope right. Thanks!
