On January 12, California held a special election to fill the vacant 72nd Assembly seat. The results: Republican Chris Norby 62.88%; Democrat John MacMurray 31.04%; Green Jane Rands 6.08%.
The last time this seat was up, in November 2008, the vote had been: Republican 54.80%; Democratic 45.20%.
Republican Chris Norby 62.88% [amazing, about ten percentage points than I (as a long time GOP hater) would have guessed. Maybe low total voter turn out? Nice solid Green results …..]
In Southern California this guy, darth norby, is a legend in his own mind, way too tolerated by the ‘Libertarian’ Orange County Register:
From the OC Weekly alternative print press: “Supervisor Norby had said to her on one occasion when she was discussing outreach programs targeting Latino seniors “Why the f##k do you have to do something special for Mexicans?”
“In testimony under oath, Norby admitted to the “Mexicans†statement but denied dropping the F-Bomb.”
“So I am not surprised by Chris Norby’s desire to ignore voter suppression directed at Latinos? It is part of his overall pattern of behavior,”
Proud, proud, so proud to be a [17th century ?????] Californian. The irrational fear mongering on Proposition Eight ………
