At 10:57 pm PST, Carly Fiorina is neck and neck with Babst Boxer. Both show 47% of the vote with 28.58% of the votes counted. Unless I’m missing something, I don’t understand why Fiorina is listed as the loser here.
Brown is beating Whitman by 5% with 26.81% of that vote showing. I’m not sure why the percentage of votes in both instances here are not the same.
If 28.58 of the Senatorial vote is counted, why wouldn’t 28.58% of the Gubernatorial votes be counted?
Boxer is starting to pull away...
ABC 7 Los Angeles Reporting (11:02 pm)
With 31% of the votes counted...
Boxer
1,649,508 48% of the vote
Fiorina
1,613,609 47% of the vote
With a 36k vote spread for 3.65 million votes counted at this point, doesn’t it seem a little odd that this race has been called by everyone for Boxer?
There’s still over 68% of the vote to be counted.
It could be that the large metropolitan areas are the last to have their votes added in. That may be the problem here.
They may know that if Fiorina hasn’t made the grade from the rural parts of California, she won’t make it at all.
We’ll see...
