(3,639 posts)1. yup, pretty amazing. I suspect that for some people if they are a certain ethnic, or religious
background they will vote for that person regardless of circumstances.

(4,299 posts)2. Very low information voters.
He got more than Cressman. Sick.

(27,434 posts)3. The news about Yee came and went
I was surprised it wasn't covered more.
Brother Buzz
(36,407 posts)8. He suspended his race and the stories went away

XemaSab
(60,212 posts)9. Turnout was so small
that I'm not sure a lot of HIGH information voters bothered.

(9,298 posts)5. Really disgusting
Why was his name even on the ballot? If it was too late to remove it, signs should have been posted in precincts saying he wasn't a candidate.

(21,103 posts)6. Republicans creating mischief voted for Yee
I heard it on a local right wing talk show.

(78,249 posts)7. Theory from a commenter on SFGate:
The Yee votes came from SoCal, where the scandal was not widely reported.
edit: He got 11 percent in Santa Clara County (San Jose and environs). So much for that theory.
