Yeah, and it's not encouraging.... or it IS encouraging based on your point of view. At 27 percent, no was ahead of yes by almost 32 thousand votes. If that trend had continued, the move to 54 percent would add an additional 32 thousand offset on the "no" side. Instead, it added only about 10 thousand. So it could be just a precinct selection fluke, or a trend.
What's interesting to me is that in the last election the east bay votes were held up until everything else was in, almost as if waiting to determine how many were needed. Those of us who watched the vote count in South Dakota last year noticed a similar phenomenon. Looks like we're seeing it again.

Right. That's somewhere up around 75 percent. So, the intial figure was too optimistic, the second count was too pessimistic, and it looks like Orange County is going to add about 20K on the "no" side between here and the end. San Diego's numbers are also running on the "no" side, but by a smaller percentage than the SOS has them.
So, I'm guessing the final margin pre-San Berdoo will be somewhere around 40K on the "yes" side... (It's dropped the last two updates) Then we'll just wait until they figure out that whole "boot-up" routine.

San Berdu has computer issues.
Orange County is comming on.
LA County % is shrinking but it's a big number so that's trouble.
I'm still positive.

Thanks. That makes the jump for the last quarter of the count consistent with the two middle quarters. So, it took the usual "anti-conservative" swerve from the absentee numbers, then just ran along consistently from there.
