November 2009 Election Results

by: Robert Cruickshank

Tue Nov 03, 2009 at 20:00:00 PM PST


As we keep a watch on some of the big races back east, including the Maine marriage equality battle that has turned out to be every bit the nailbiter we expected, we'll be using this as a thread to update some of the California races on today's ballot.

CA-10 results from Secretary of State:

28% reporting

Garamendi: 56.1%
Harmer: 39.5%

Also, have a look at Ballotpedia's list of CA local initiatives. We'll provide updates of some of the higher profile issues, including SF initiatives, Salinas Measure K (sales tax), Ventura Measure A (sales tax), among others.

Feel free to post updates from measures you're following in the comments.

UPDATE 3: Ventura Measure A going down, 44-56.

UPDATE 2: AP and SF Chronicle call it for Garamendi.

UPDATE: Salinas Measure K (sales tax) doing poorly with absentee votes. As you see above, Garamendi maintains his sizable lead.

Contra Costa (0.00 / 0)
Does CC not report by precinct?  They are showing 60,000 votes in and no precincts.  It's game over based on Garamendi's lead there alone.  

probably early received absentee ballots (0.00 / 0)
    Sure are a lot of them. Garamendi campaign must have pushed the Vote-by-Mail effort.

They're expecting 75% VBM (0.00 / 0)
Garamendi won.

I think?

Young Dem won in Marin (0.00 / 0)
Marc Levine, founder of Marin County Young Dems, was elected as San Rafael councilmember.

Measure B (sales tax) in Gustine (0.00 / 0)
is ahead by 30 votes so far (191 yes, 161 no) but i don't think it will get 2/3 votes in needs.  

"You've slipped into my life as easily as vermouth into a glass of gin... quickly and just a bit too smooth"

Why are... (0.00 / 0)
the tax initiatives going down by such big margins?

it's the worst recession since the Great Depression (0.00 / 0)
asking people to pay a regressive tax to cover Sacramento's mistakes in this kind of economy is really, really hard sell.

That, and it's an off-year election in which progressives aren't motivated to turn out, and conservatives are.

It's interesting to note that our anti-WalMart initiative failed by similar margins, though "C" did better.  Much was made of the idea that there were a bunch of "A" supporters who wouldn't support "C", when the opposite was really the case.  But both failed because "low cost WalMart" and "lower taxes" sound really good to voters right now.

I can say more about what happened locally in Ventura; just email me.
