As silence mentioned earlier, yesterday was election day in several municipalities across the state. I would givs eyou results for SF, but so far we've only got the absentee results. You see, our voting machines were out of compliance, so we've got to go through the ballots manually.  While the Mayor, Sheriff, and DA were all easily reelected, with large enough margins that you can call the race. However, several ballot measures are still up in the air. But the one thing that is clear? Turnout was abysmal. Even garnering about 75% of the vote, Mayor Newsom may not get to the tally for the loser in the Dec 2003 runoff. Heck, turnout in total may not get that high.

So, what about your area? Any fun election results?
