Welcome to the live thread for the California Primary Election. Polls are open until 8pm tonight. If you are a registered voter, it is your duty to vote and defend your rights and civil liberties, protect your pocketbook, and vote the bums out where applicable.
Feel free to discuss issues key to your local area that others may be interested in. Post your polling place experiences if you like. And post numbers as they come in later tonight.
ALL states were better off when legislator was a part-time job.
I call a TKO
John Garamendi (Dem) 277,281 47.6 % Tom McClintock (Rep) 279,850 48.0 % James D. King (AI) 3,948 0.6 % Donna J. Warren (Grn) 12,038 2.1 % Lynnette Marie Shaw (Lib) 8,035 1.4 % Stewart A. Alexander (NP) 2,048 0.3 %
I like the results from San Diego County... too bad we have to consider the whole state. :-(
Jerry Brown (Dem) 322,127 56.0 % Chuck Poochigian (Rep) 226,546 39.4 %
NO kidding.
San Diego is very different then the rest of this effed up state.
Debra Bowen (Dem) 369,447 47.0 % Bruce McPherson (Rep) 370,976 47.2 %
Announcing that the poll is open is probably part of the process. This takes place after the head poll worker shows the empty ballot box to everyone in the polling place and then applies the seal to close the box.
When the closing time for voting arrives, everyone who is in line is permitted to continue to cast ballots, but anyone arriving after that instant is turned away.
Cruz Bustamante (Dem) 283,856 36.5 % Steve Poizner (Rep) 412,567 53.0 %

Hey... It got better! I looked at the Pombo race when there were only 3000 votes int.
Hopefully it will keep turning in his favor... and Doolittle holds.
