Get a brain - or vote for another FoxNews Host??

Even Orange County is no longer where "good Republicans go to die" (just the ones with money ).

South Orange County is still mostly Republican - but even there, they're at lot less so than before the 2008 calamity.

of smear campaigns from two Democrats against each other, like Steyer started to do when Becerra pulled ahead in the polls

Steyer as the 2nd candidate!

This isn't about getting some PEDO-approved candidate as CA Gov!

Ballots had to be sent in and postmarked by 8PM on June 2. All voting is done- it’s now a matter of counting the physical ballots, which takes time

been more clear.. my GOTV stood for I hope you Got out the Vote for Steyer as the 2nd Candidate.

Becerra will be the D nominee (yay), but to say Hilton and Steyer are “battling for second place” is a little ridiculous. Actual numbers as of the moment are Hilton 27%, Becerra 26%, Steyer 20%. Suffice to say Steyer can’t get to Becerra, but the odds are very high that it will be Becerra v Hilton.

Can someone explain to me how they are battling after the election is over.

Over picking up the confetti in Times Square on Jan 1. lol the event is over, but there’s a lot of paper flying around in the breeze

that Becerra will overtake Hilton when all the mail in votes are counted.

As for the way elections are reported like sports contests is nuts. Who leads while counting is going on is wholy dependent on which groups of votes are conted first and which are counted last. Something Trump makes a meal of when he losses an early lead....

But a "race" for #2. Steyer may gain some ground on Hilton, but the odds he makes it to the general are very slim.

And the two candidates for Gov of CA are Democrats. i still support Becerra, no mater who else is there

I don't know when it was written but I see:

27.2 Hilton
26.0 Becerra
20.2 Steyer

It’s been close to those numbers all along, so yeah you’re right

Or maybe it's clickbait. Not sure why it's so wrong.

I never saw numbers at any point that looked like that.

Becerra will definitely be #1.

It hasn't happened yet in counted votes.

At that point, I expect Becerra to be in first place.

Especially in LA, Sac, and the Bay Area.

I keep checking.

has updated numbers.

As of 8:20 PM EDT Becerra has now taken the lead.
Candidate..........Votes..........Pct
Xavier Becerra.....1,688,404.....26.72%
Steve Hilton.....1,666,522.....26.38%
Tom Steyer.....1,328,712.....21.03%

Now that would be legit. An interesting churning of Democratic ideas and a chance to contrast 2 of the important factions in the party too. Without deadly consequences.

A Becerra-Hilton contest is a complete waste of everybody's time and money.

Surely these money could be better spent on something else.
I mean, whatever happens will happen, but I rather not waste money.

Without a republican at the top of the ticket, many of them will stay home.

NT

like the climate and the convenience, but fucking despise everything else about CA.

Ohhh thank you for explaining. if the trend continues, Becerra will surpass Hilton.

Some of us care who ends up in first. We understand that as long as a Dem makes the top two we will win, but we still want to follow the race and know that Becerra will eventually come in ahead of Hilton. Of course the press will treat Hilton as the winner for days or weeks before that happens, and then pretty much ignore it when Becerra overtakes him.

Very proud of my vote for him. Everyone I know here voted for our hometown Sac boy.

Battle between Steyer & Hilton.

Bass confirm.

Battle between Pratt and I can’t think of her name.

Battle between Steyer Hilton.

Bass confirm.

Battle between Pratt and I can’t think of her name.

I wish media persons would stop describing the counting of votes as battling. They are waiting for the votes to be counted.

On the other hand Bush v Gore actually was a battle, a grossly inappropriate court action.

when she had NO chance of finishing in the Top Two? Her 4%, or whatever, might have insured two Democrats in the Final 2.

I have always liked and respected her. Did she not see that her continued presence was hurting our party?

The vast majority of Porter voters would likely have voted for Becerra if she had dropped out. I don't see any way in which she hurt the party.

Becerra leads. The gap between Hilton and Steyer shrunk a little, but it seems unlikely for Steyer to catch up.
