Real votes counted: 10% in Davis is moving up

[CMT]

It had been 59-41 with 3% in for the recall now it is 57-43 with 10% in from mostly GOP counties such as San Diego, Riverside, Bakersfield, Fresno, ect. STill no votes given from heavily democratic San Francisco and Alameda counties. LA has only reported a fraction of its votes and it is 50/50.

Lets see what the real votes show and then the uncounted absentee ballots may decided this thing yet.

3. San Francisco just reported its first totals, 77% for retaining Davis

7. Thank you for reporting the San Francisco numbers

I was sitting here getting more and more discouraged, but at least I know that 77% of San Francisco voted my way.
I live in Sunnyvale. The people I talked to at the community college where I work voted against the recall. My daughter in Scotts Valley said everyone she knew was voting against it. So not everyone in California has lost their mind!

6. Absentee ballots were counted first ...

... in my county and have been displayed on the county and State summaries immediately after 8pm. They are only now starting to receive and count today's ballots. The race isn't over yet. (Hope, hope, hope!)

[CMT]

9. 14% of returns in and Yes on recall leading by only 140,000

with much of the Bay Area and LA yet to report.

10. San Fran

is one of the great cities in this country--Dems can take pride in it.

[CoffeePlease1947]

12. It is now 56-44 Percent, I would laugh if the recall failed n/t

[CMT]

13. Marin Co. is 68-32 for Davis

Contra Costa Co. 56-43 for Davis.

[jiacinto]

17. That's too low

Davis needs 60% there.

[saline]

14. I don't care, it ain't over

I refuse to concede, we have only yet begun to count! I see the amount for recall going down as precincts go up, I'm gonna wait all month for certification. No how, no way, not now am I gonna admit defeat or disheartenment because I'm a Democrat dammit!

[CMT]

16. 19% in and No on recall up to 45%

it is narrowing slowly but surely.

[CMT]

18. 40% of preceints in San Francisco reporting Davis has 80%

of the vote.

Alameda and much of LA still out. 60% of San Fran still to report.

[TheDonkey]

19. Arnold is giving a victory speech

The gap is narrowing (which is nice) but it's over.

20. The Repubs turned out. Dems didn't

Orange county casted almost twice as many ballots as San Francisco. The percentage of registered voters that bothered to vote was higher in Republican districts. Dems didn't vote. That's it.

21. not all the votes are in yet

only 40% in SF so far and Davis has over 100,000 for No recall and Yes is only around 20,000.

[CMT]

22. 26% of votes in still 55-45, but

Alameda is still out, 60% of San Fran is still out (with Davis currently leading by 80-20) and much of LA county still out.
