Oh man, first results…. don’t want to hold my breath, but kinda do on some of ’em
What % of the vote does that represent in each of those races?
Total Number of Voters : 13,898 of 76,446 = 18.18%
Hard to break it down like that — depends on how many people vote, total. Maybe about a third?
County Elections web page, election results, first report.
It’s the absentee ballot count only. But a statistically significant portion of the vote county-wide.
Typical of absentee results. Sad but typical. Thanks for your efforts, looking forward to final results. Then, on to November for some…
Absentee votes can vary widely from precincts reporting. (conservative older people tend to vote absentee, progressive young types go to polling places – as a general trend)
Kate- you label “old” people as conservative and “young type” people as progressive. How about “old” people as wise and “young type” people as naive.
Say Brooks, that was wonderfully stated. May I quote you?
No you’re wrong. Conservative does not equal wise. Democrat does not equal naive. Glad I didn’t vote Brooks for Assessor.
Kate-I didn’t say Democrats are naive, you just did, and I am not the Brooks that ran for assessor. Rick, yes you may.
