San Francisco's turnout was 79%, not 53%. |
|
SF's incompetent department of elections has yet to count over 120,000 mail in and provisional ballots!
This information comes from today's SF Examiner editorial. I have not been able to locate it online, but it is sitting right in front of me.

1. Umm, if SF has 120,000 uncounted ballots ... |
|
... then Prop 8 will go down to defeat, right?
I don't think this is true. Hope it is, but I am skeptical.

3. No. The prop won by something close to 500,000 votes |

6. Make that closer to 400,000 once these votes are counted. |
|
This really pisses me off. 120,000 uncounted very liberal votes could have made a difference in all sorts of races, if only in the perception of the margin of defeat/victory.
How many other votes are still uncounted all across the country?

7. And I bet no one is minding L.A. County. |
|
In CA, election boards have 28 days to count ballots they received on Election Day.

5. We'll never know. No one is minding the vote now, they conceded. |
|
We're at the mercy of partisan bureaucrats all over the state.

9. That's good to hear... |
|
...and I'm recommending this as SF took some heat for low reported voter turnout. Unfairly, now it turns out.
