Folks:
Keep an eye on the AG race in VA. I'd put that one in the "too close to call" category right now.
The Republican will probably win, but the gap is less than 1/2 percent, and less than 8,000 votes out of 1.8 million. I did a quick scan on the areas that haven't reported and many of them tend to vote Democrat.
Interesting that Bolling outdrew Kilgore by almost 70,000 votes and McDonnell bested Kilgore by about 55,000. It shows that Kilgore was not the most effective candidate on the GOP side.
I ended up voting out of my precinct, on a provisional ballot , written in Chinese.(The guy at the polling place said several people had come in with the same no-polling-place-adress-on-the-ballott, and that somebody must have "screwed up").
The only thing I've heard about this election is that turnout is around 42 percent. That seems like a good turn out for this place?
I voted for all of Ahnold's measures and "No" on 78-80. I guess the exit poll thingy's are saying Ahnold's measures failed, but who knows in this looney bin of a state. We probably won't have results for a while.
Actual CA results so far:
73 Y Minor's Pregnancy 253,101 52.8 226,530 47.2 Map
74 Y Teacher Tenure 259,966 53.8 223,709 46.2 Map
75 Y Public Union Dues 282,726 58.5 200,745 41.5 Map
76 N Spending/Funding 223,422 46.3 258,258 53.7 Map
77 N Redistricting 231,739 48.7 244,048 51.3 Map
78 N Rx Drug Discounts 206,108 43.5 267,543 56.5 Map
79 N Rx Drug Rebates 183,739 38.9 288,096 61.1 Map
80 N Electric Regulation 169,175 36.5 294,304 63.5 Map
73, 74 and 75 passing! Everything else failing.
Tim Kaine is giving his "victory speech". What the heck were the sorry excuses for Virginians thinking when they voted for that POS? He is a disgrace. I am ashamed to be from Virginia tonight. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad I live in Maryland.
Prop. 73: Yes-52.9%
Prop. 74: Yes-52.1%
Prop. 75: Yes-56.3%
Everything else is failing.
