Good point - that would be an extraordinarily low figure, comparing to
other districts in the state. An uncompetitive Los Angeles district that featured an incumbent D versus a green party candidate got 130k votes. The only other districts in 100k territory were CA-40, which like the above district had incumbent D vs green party, and CA-41 around Riverside, which was not that competitive (final result D+23).
That said, CA-21 is very rural and doesn't have any large cities in it, so it fits the profile of a district I'd expect to have low turnout.
