[Sosfbay-discuss] Current Santa Clara Voter Registration Stats

[Tian Harter]

I was curious about what that meant, so I came up with this little table:

    February 2007    October 2007    Change Percentage    Change
Elligable    1084404    1095441    0.01007539429    11037
Registered    685048    679825    -0.00768285956    -5223
Democrats    309320    306519    -0.00913809584    -2801
Republicans    186785    182203    -0.02514777473    -4582
American Independant    11816    11960    0.01204013378    144
Green    5214    5085    -0.02536873156    -129
Libertarian    3882    3847    -0.00909799844    -35
Peace & Freedom    1601    1647    0.02792956891    46
Decline to State    164310    166539    0.01338425234    2229
Other    2120    2025    -0.04691358025    -95

I know it's hard to read, but what it boils down to is that we and the
Republicans
both lost about 2.5%. Eligable Voters, AIP, and DTS all gained a bit
more than a percent.
Peace & Freedom was the big percentage gainer, growing almost 3%, or 46
voters.
The Libertarians and Democrats both lost a bit under a percent of their
membership.

My Dad was complaining to the checkout clerk at the grocery store about
the price of groceries. He said he told her he was going to quit eating.
