[I'll put the updates up top for a change]
UPDATE - um, yeah, in case anyone didn't notice, the returns are creeping out, and the maps haven't even started getting filled in yet. i don't get it; if the turnout is so pitifully low, and our new optic scan ballots are so efficient, why does it take so long to get more than absentees counted?
it seems cruel, really. train us to hit refresh buttons like rats in a skinnerian psych experiment, and then taunt us with blank screens. grr.
UPDATE 2 - yay, the maps updated! the vanguard's saying that turnout is absurdly low tonight, like 5% in woodland. ack, your democracy at work.
UPDATE 3 - Woodland returns are in. The two Woodland school board slots went to incumbant Carol Souza-Cole and Rosario Ruiz-Dark, and Cirenio Rodriguez won the 3rd trustee area Yolo County BOE seat. West Sac is still on absentees, and Davis is trickling in.
UPDATE 4 - well, the returns are in. Measures P and Q passed with 73.1% and 72.9%, respectively, and Richard Harrris and Susan Lovenburg coasted to election:
Susan Lovenburg 6,806 38.5%
Richard C. Harris 5,412 30.6%
Robert (Bob) Schelen 3,066 17.3%
Joseph M. Spector 2,406 13.6%
This is why I don't dabble in predictions, since my picks so often get crushed. No matter, the important thing is that despite the abysmal turnout, Davis' library and schools blew past the (needless) 2/3 requirement. Unfortunately, West Sac's Measure S was not so lucky; while it got a simple majority, it didn't meet the unreasonably high tax hurdle, and so will not qualify.
UPDATE 5 - Turnout was bad everywhere, but impressively low in Woodland.
Davis: 29%
West Sac: 22.4%
Woodland: 10.5% (school board race), 15.9% (Board of Education race)
