Who else is staying up late to follow the CA-50 special election results?

[More Than A Feeling]

Well, ok, I'm also writing a paper that's due tomorrow...but, regardless! Come on, all you election junkies, fess up!

1. I'm Just Up The Road In O.C.

I'll be up a couple more hours. I figured there would be something by now, but I guess the results haven't changed since the polls closed.

4. Yeah, what gives with that?

I guess we got spoiled here in Illinois, where the Cegelis/Duckworth results updated with new results every five minutes.

2. I'm here, and I'm in Ga. I really want to see Busby get the required

50% on the first vote. Somehow, I'd bet there are a lot of people who just won't bother to vote in a runoff.

3. Hi, Heaven and Earth. I'm time zones away but I am pulling for

Francine Busby tonight!

[Sydnie]

5. I'm interested but getting tired

Worked all day ... getting really tired now though. Might have to call it a night soon and check back in the morning.

I would have thought they would have returns by now.

7. Fresh results up now!

Sadly, they haven't improved Busby's standing anyway.

6. Something funny is going on

The results are way to slow coming in

12. A poster in Politics said it was all paper and pen ballots today,

which could explain the slow returns.

I am officially retiring for the evening. I hope to wake to miraculous news that Rep. Busby won 50% + 1 (is that 1% or 1 vote?) and will avoid a runoff in June.

Go Francine!

8. Woohoo! Francine at 42.19%!

She only needs 50%, right?

Mind you, it's only 7.4% of the vote. :(

[More Than A Feeling]

10. 50% will be very difficult, to say the least

Check out www.swingstateproject.com, where they have calculated with each percent of turnout, how much Busby would have to win to get 50%.

11. Well it is considered a "red" district

So, we should be thankful she's doing so well so far.

9. I'm 2 bed - worked the polls 2day

had 2 B there from 6A-8P - I'm beat - we had an election 2 fill the campbell State Senate seat in OC 2day - we had THIRTY voters out of 2500 in the precinct. If San Diego is like OC since it was one issue, it was a pure paper & pen ballot. It might take longer 2 count.
