[GPSCC-chat] Prop 34 and 37 too close to call

[Drew]

I wish they were "too close to call", but sadly this is not the case.  Currently on 34 there's a gap of 500,000 votes and 37 its similar.  Those are not numbers that are likely to flip.  So we'll have to think about it for next time.  Nevertheless I'm happy we got education tax, trimming three strikes and green energy propositions past.


 Green is GO!

>As of right now, http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/ballot-measures/ is reporting that Prop 37 has 53% no votes while Prop 34 has 52.7% no votes. Last night, with 25% of the precincts reporting the no votes on 37 were at 57-58%.  In my opinion these figures are too close to call a winner/loser at this point as up to 25% of the vote has yet to be counted.  More than 1/2 of the expected 12 million votes cast in this election in CA are being cast by mail. The statewide vote totals on the above web site are at only 9 million with 98.5% of the precincts partially reporting. LA county alone (where Prop 37 is leading by 51.5% yes votes, which also improved overnight from 55% no votes) is estimated to have 1.5 million mail in ballots (probably 1/2 of which still need to be counted).  If prop 37 loses, I'm predicting it will lose by less than 1%.  The exit poll reported by www.rt.com (just once on their cable broadcast at 7:30PM last night) had prop 37
 winning. Good luck and keep your fingers crossed.

>Next step if prop 37 or prop 34 lose: Try again in 2014 or 2016.  Prop 36 initially lost by a narrow margin back in 2004.  Look at it now.  It is winning by a landslide.
