Portero Recall Update

They are still counting folks, but it continues to look good.

The way this works is that the ballot says for each individual candidate: do you want to recall X.  Then it asks if you want to replace them with somebody else.  It is taking a long time to count all of these individual votes.  Turnout is in the 300s and there were just 8 ballots turned in today.

It is probably going to take another hour or an hour and a half to get the final count.  Rick is camped out in the hallway writing up a post.  Ray Lutz is videotaping the count.  The media has already come and gone.

More later...
