AOSHQDD- San Diego Mayoral Runoff Results
— CAC

ABOVE THE POST UPDATE


After Filthy Filner bounced out, and a primary whittled down the contenders, the race today between Republican Kevin Faulconer and Democrat David Alvarez leaves us with the most exciting West Coast race until Election Day. Live result pie chart below (note there is a 2-3 minute delay on updates on the pie chart sometimes, so you can see the updated chart directly here)

The 2012 election, which saw the disgraced Filner defeating Republican Carl DeMaio 52.5-47.5 featured a Presidential electorate, so it will be interesting to see if the Republicans manage to win out with an off-year race.

The Decision Desk has it's own twitter you can follow for this and all 2014 races here.

2 On the ipad it's just a bunch of white space. Which I'm pretty sure is racist.

15 2 On the ipad it's just a bunch of white space. Which I'm pretty sure is racist ___________ Shhhhh! Don't tell him - then he'll post some bigass map or piechart that will just blow out the margins so I can't see it on my phone.

Posted by: shredded chi at February 11, 2014 06:55 PM (Sm2VJ)

16 Damn. Must be all gone already.

20 I get the same white racist crap at the link.

Posted by: The Hickster at February 11, 2014 06:57 PM (TI3xG)

21 Clearly the black and Asian votes are being suppressed by the GOP.

Posted by: logprof at February 11, 2014 06:58 PM (X3GkB)

22 Hey, CAC.. do you have to highlight it and then type in a secret password to see it?

Right-click?  abra cadabra?

Posted by: Chi-Town Jerry at February 11, 2014 06:58 PM (b/lt+)

23 Clearly, the attempt at a plaid map of San Diego was a bridge too far.

25 I used to be gay until I found out that the word didn't mean "happy"any more. Now I can't be gay cause some asshole fucker co-opted the word.Now I can only be happy, unless somebody has changed the meaning of that word too.

26 Oh shit I didn't pay attention to which Cob was posting. CAC is probably seeing all kinds of colors.

30 CAC is following in the fine, old tradition of not actually reading the comments in his own thread.

37 I think this is just more punishment left over from last week. CAC overslwpt, and is just now getting around to it. We don't DESERVE maps.

42

Faulconer is a party backed screaming moderate who's been pissing on other "icky" Republicans during his entire campaign.

So if he doesn't make it in, no big whoop.

43 the R won 56 to 43

45 Did the polls close at 7pm PST, or did they just close... Guessing CAC had a premature posting problem Posted by: phreshone at February 11, 2014 11:01 PM (Q6pxP) At 8:00, Phreshone. CAC is probably posting the most recent count 'cause voting here is counted and updated through the day as necessary.

Posted by: Bill H at February 11, 2014 07:10 PM (3sZO1)

46 final result? R won? I don't see a time stamp or anything...

Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 11, 2014 07:12 PM (IXrOn)

47 So if he doesn't make it in, no big whoop. Posted by: Laurie David's Cervix at February 11, 2014 11:08 PM (kdS6q) I liked DeMaio a lot more, but at least Falconer isn't Filner. He might even manage to give Brown some headaches.

48 Union Tribune shows only 1.6% of precincts reporting

Posted by: phreshone at February 11, 2014 07:14 PM (Q6pxP)

49 I don't see a time stamp or anything... Posted by: artisanal 'ette at February 11, 2014 11:12 PM (IXrOn) At one point this week the race was supposed to have been a statistical dead heat. We likely wont have a usable result for at least the next couple of hours, given it ain't likely either side is going to easily concede.

Posted by: Bill H at February 11, 2014 07:17 PM (3sZO1)

50 Heads up guys- the 1.6% figure is misleading. 1/3 to 1/2 of all ballots cast are absentee/early votes. These ARE those votes so far, so don't be shocked if the total # of votes is only a little over double what is already up. At a minimum this is likely 40% of the vote. At max, a little over 50%.

Posted by: CAC at February 11, 2014 07:20 PM (4YgG5)

51 For my money, San Diego has one of the most comfortable climates you will find anywhere in the world. Just gorgeous.

That said, I know a pretty large number of former WESTPAC Navy types who had been homeported there, most of whom referred to it unfondly as "Dago", and couldn't wait to get out of there when they left the service. There were a bunch of gripes. Some justified, some flimsy.

At the moment, winning a mayoral election in San Diego is like being elected captain of RMS _Titanic_ about half an hour after the iceberg ripped open the side. Every large municipality in Commiefornia is the same. Massively overcommitted financially thanks to public union pensions and an open-door welfare state flooding with Third World immigrants.

The only way out is a combination of politically toxic tax hikes and service cuts, both of agonizingly large dimensions, neither one avoidable. That is IF renegotiation of union contracts for existing pre-retiree workers succeed. Which is by no means guaranteed. They will fight for every penny of excessive unearned benefits.

If renegotiations fail, it's next stop bankruptcy. Just as Vallejo and San Bernardino have learned.

Posted by: CAC at February 11, 2014 11:20 PM (4YgG5) Early absentees in California have typically been GOP heavy in regular elections. If this were a regular election, I'd be worried, since in recent times a 15% to 20% lead in early absentees has been associated with an even split after all the votes have been counted. This being a special election, howeverÂ…

54 I heard somewhere that there were Alvarez campaign signs in Mexico. Something about those holding dual citizenship. Or maybe just over and back for anybody who wants to vote. Vote D that is.

56 Yeah....surfing lowers tomorrow...early....so, whatevr....but I do hope the guy with teh R next to his name wins

Nice graphic, CAC...it's cool the way you can mouse over it and get the vote count and percentage.

 

So now there's an R in place of filthy Filner?

Let's hope this is an omen of what the rest of the year may bring.

Woohoo!! I'm doing the happy dance, it's good practice for November 4th


BTW, if the Dem had won, the MSM would be hailing it as a "harbinger" for the midterm; but since it was an evil Republican we get *crickets*.

63 how is a 9% difference too close to call? was the media keeping their election-stealing options open?
