10. San Francisco County voters are the most intelligent in the state!
I'd guess it's the most politically active and well-informed big city in the whole country. Love it!

35. Well, the county you're looking at is Ventura County
... and the percentage you're looking at is the percentage of votes counted in whichever way (Y or N) is leading, NOT the percentage of precincts (or votes) counted in the county.

In other words, the 55% you see in Ventura County means that of the (57.7% of) votes counted, 55% (54.7% rounded) voted 'Y' and 45% voted 'N' ... which is not surprising for Ventura County which is mostly Repiglickers.

25. I agree
Edited on Wed Nov-09-05 01:46 AM by Popol Vuh
And think its because of all those 60's hippies that migrated to Frisco. :smoke:

Here in Los Angeles county we are a big mix of all types from all over the country and the world who've migrated here (L.A. is a BIG Mixing Pot). Most of us are progressive, but not quite as informed as San Fransicians. IMO

16. It's turning, point by point...
Edited on Wed Nov-09-05 01:38 AM by loro mi dicevano
Moving towards 'no' by about .1% every update.

Driving me crazy!

(I actually told myself, "I'll go to sleep the next time the percentage changes..." about 20 minutes ago.)

20. And they says California is a progressive state !! WTF ???
Fundies showed-up to vote on that idiot prop 73 (abortion) and are wreaking havoc on the other props.

Prop 75: I see 50.9 to 49.1 favoring 75 right now with 42.5% of precincts reporting.

23. Even Contra Costa, Marin, and San Mateo are voting 75 down.
Even Sacramento has NO on 75 leading by 2.4% ... aruguably with the highest density of state union employees.

29. I'm getting optimistic on it!
I think that LA will be the savior! We will see what kind of state we live in! I am already so proud of all the progressive and labor activists who have mobilized and given their all!

40. Now the state site has it flipped but abc (with a higher % reporting) has
it flipped back. What a squeaker (for now at least).

43. Arnie knew it was coming
That's why he trotted out the SchwarzenShriver bobble head doll so early. He wouldn't have to give a proper concession speech so we could point at him and laugh at his defeat.

I will point at him and laugh nonetheless.
