4th district?
nevermind
I guess the “no change” in the 5th district means that none of those nine precincts were in the 5th district. Too bad, I’m interested to see if Sunberg’s election night totals are a whole lot lower than his vote-by-mail totals (which might indicate some effect from the DUI revelations).
Anyone know which nine precincts reported so far?
I’m guessing most were in the 4th district, because Bass’s lead dropped significantly. If the trend holds as more election-day votes are counted, Bass won’t win outright with 50%+.
So far it’s looking likely that we’ll have Bass vs. Neeley runoff in the 4th, and a Gallegos vs. Jackson runoff in the DA race. Which seems to be what most people expected.
Nobody cares about the Sundberg DUI, other than those who weren’t voting for him anyway.
Umm … there has been a huge change in the 5th District with sundberg well below 50 percent
Bryson pulling 6% of the vote despite having pulled out of the campaign?
Interesting.
Probably not a particularly good thing for Gallegos, since Bryson’s pool of supporters may prove a fertile recruiting ground for Jackson to pick up some Anybody But Gallegos votes in November.
On the other hand, given that Bryson dropped out of the race quite some time ago, the fact that Jackson and Hagen didn’t capture more of that 6% suggests that many of the Bryson voters may not be all that crazy about those two either. It’s all about as clear as mud.
I think most Hagen voters will go to Gallegos in the fall, (I’d guess at least 2/3 of them) but I really have no idea where the Bryson voters will go.
He was well below in the absentees as well. Unchanged.
Well, after looking at the Elections Office’s Second Report, two things stand out:
(1) Bass, while polling a lot lower in election day votes, is still outpolling Neeley so far. If Bass finishes well ahead of Neeley (but short of the 50%+ she’d need to win outright) Bonnie could have a real fight on her hands in November. I’m guessing that of the Leonard voters who take part in the November runoff (as opposed to sitting it out) the majority will be leaning toward Bass. Neeley will have her work cut out for her. But again, not that many precincts in, so too early to say this with any great degree of certainty.
(2) Gallegos polling well ahead of Jackson in the election-day votes (as opposed to the vote-by-mail votes). There are a whole lot more election-day votes to come in, so if the trend holds, Gallegos looks to come out in a strong position, maybe even to win outright this evening with 50%+. From my point of view that would be sweet, not having to witness 4 more months of Jackson’s deceitful ads and outrageous claims.
A third thing stands out:
Brooks got 30% of precinct vote and Rodoni got 28%. Compared to Rodoni 38%, Brooks 21% for mail-in. The other precincts could give Brooks enough to be a contender for November.
