No real surprises, but we'll have more analysis and wrap up tomorrow.
For now the General Election is shaping up like this:
U.S. Senate will be Barbara Boxer (D) v. Carly Fiorina (R)
Gov. will be Jerry Brown (D) v. Meg Whitman (R)
Lt. Gov. will be Gavin Newsome (D) v. Abel Maldonado (R)
Sec. of State* will be Debra Bowen (D) v. Damon Dunn (R)
Controller will be Johnny Chaing (D) v. Tony Strickland (R)
Treasurer will be Bill Lockyer (D) v. Mimi Walters (R)
Atty. General will be Kamala Harris (D) v. Steve Cooley (R)
State Ballot Measures wound up like this:
Measure and Title Yes No
| Yes | 13 Property Taxes and Seismic Retrofit of Buildings | 85.7% | 14.3% | ||
| Yes | 14 Primary Election Participation | 60.1% | 39.9% | ||
| No | 15 California Fair Elections Act | 43.0% | 57.0% | ||
| Yes | 16 Local Electricity Providers | 51.5% | 48.5% | ||
| Yes | 17 Auto Insurance Pricing | | 54.3% | | 45.7% |
So, like I said, we will have more in depth coverage tomorrow of candidates and the goofy crap California voters passed in initiatives along with likely ballot measures for the fall...
*As we wrote earlier today, we were really pulling for that crazy old bat, Orly Taitz to be the GOP nominee for Secretary of State... we'll have to take a look at the CRA and Tea Party endorsements for the various races and see how they fared as a group... could be some interesting data there.
