1. That would be awesome if she won.

I have read a bit about her. She is a surfer and seems to be quite the progressive! Both thumbs up from me!

4. She needs 51%...

to avoid a runoff election in Nov.
Right now Sanders and Francis are Repukes and are splitting the Repuke vote.

Hate to rain on the parade here but the Repuke vote will not be split come Nov. and Jerry Sanders will win because this region of the country has their heads firmly brainwashed and up their collective asses.

7. Donna Frye has already won once

The neocon idiots disenfranchised SD by saying write in votes don't count. ADD the incredible corruption and sleaze , just neocon DC on a local scale, and there's no way in HELL republicans win in San Diego for the foreseeable future. They know what happens.

8. I wish you were right

I will keep my fingers crossed.

Again, there is now going to be a runoff between her and former Police Chief Jerry Sanders on Nov. 8.

The reason she won against Murphy, as a write in, is because she was the only Dem and the Repug's split the vote. Of course they didn't count the unfilled bubbles but that is a separate issue.

Sanders has the look and the smooth talk plus the Repukes will funnel a ton of money here. Come Nov. the Repuke vote will be solid for Sanders and NOT split. I wish it was different but Donna has very little chance against a unified Repuke voter base in this brain-dead, militaristic region of the country.

6. The number keeps holding steady in the low 40's now with 30% counted

Wow, almost 400,000 voters voted in this early election. That is impressive
