We got an HSR president into the White House. Will California follow?
The Secretary of State’s site is running VERY slowly. The LA Times has a much better site. As of 10PM and with 18.2% reporting we’re down 49.3% to 50.7%. Much of the early numbers are from conservative counties and absentees, which lean Republican. The high population counties – SF, Alameda, LA – still have yet to report most of their votes. LA County in particular is going to take some time since voting there was extremely heavy.
This is unfolding as I expected – a very close race. We will likely not know the result until the morning. Still, I will update this every half hour or so.
10:30 PM – Yes 50.6% (1,942,293), No 49.4% (1,898,211)
11:00 PM – Yes 51.2% (2,170,844), No 48.8% (2,066,537), 33.7% reporting
11:30 PM – Yes 51.5% (2,566,659), No 48.5% (2,415,829), 43% reporting
Alameda and Santa Clara County have under-reported, but so have Orange, San Bernardino, and San Diego. This is still going to be very close.
