D 26.15
R 20.58
= what percentage of the TOTAL general election vote ???
Under 10.00 ???
Do you know how many people voted?
Not all the votes have been counted yet. Provisionals especially take a while to be counted. Check the California Secretary of State’s web page, which is updated daily as more and more votes are counted.
It is interesting to see that there is not a Libertarian in the race. Is it just me or does it seem like the LP has been on the decline lately? That would be sad.
