The California Secretary of State’s web page has this chart, which is updated daily, showing validation from each county for the petition to qualify Americans Elect as a party in California. The work must be completed by December 19, 2011.
The petition needs validity of 63.53% in order to succeed. So far, every county that has finished checking is reporting a higher percentage valid, except for two small counties, Imperial and Del Norte.
The sample check only found 320 duplicate signatures.
So far with only 9000 signatures checked, 285 duplicates have been found. This demonstrates why both a large margin (10%) and asymmetric margins 95% to 110% threshold are used.
The party probably could have achieved 110% if it had spent a little more effort and cash in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties.
