Something is wrong with the NUMBERS on the RECALL!

[CoffeePlease1947]

This is not making any sense at all. How could Arnold and McClintock get 65% of the vote when 45% of the people voted against the recall. This means that 25% of the people that voted against the recall voted for either Arnold or McClintock. What does that say? Obviously some very confused voters or something is really wrong here.
Second, Bustamante is getting slaughtered in LA. This doesn't make any sense either.

1. how about Davis conceding when he's only 6pts away from 50%

weird

70% of the precincts haven't reported

6. Insane! Way too early!

Oh my lord. What a moron.

[CoffeePlease1947]

9. It is only 5% now 55%-45%. Only 20% reporting.

I am sure this will tighten more. I am just confused why how anyone can be against the Recall and for Arnold. Does not make sense. Lots of questions still.

19. I could see a conservative being real conservative

and voting no on the recall because that's just not the way things have always been done, but then if it passes, then vote for the conservative candidate. -- that wouldn't account for many % though.

2. Yeah something stinks, real bad!!!!!!!

3. I saw a women interviewed after she voted

She voted NO on the recall and McClintock - I can't explain it, but that is what she said. I imagine some others did the same.

4. I'm just

as baffled. This looks staged--it's going so well for Arnold.

5. Maybe that was the Freepers who forgot to vote FOR the recall?

They showed up to vote for Little Hitler Arnie, but forgot the recall part of the ballot.

7. If you think those numbers don't make sense, you have been watching CA TV

If you watched the local news you could understand why people voted so stupidly.

Remember that study...Fox viewers are stupid...they believe lies are the truth...well that's what the CA voters have been experiencing here in CA.

It's the end of democracy.

8. I've met some Repubs

who hate the idea of the recall -- think it's a bad precedent, etc. -- but who probably also picked a Repub like Arnie or McClintock to replace Davis just in case. I don't think that's so weird.

10. How about Bustamante losing badly in LA?

[uhhuh]

12. according to the Sec of State site

L.A. has not reported in. We'll have to wait and see...

11. I'll Just Repost This For You Then.

From: http://vote2003.ss.ca.gov/Returns/summary.html

As of 8:50 PM

Larry Flynt Dem 2,848 0.2
Bill Simon Rep 2,848 0.2
George B. Schwartzman Ind 2,488 0.2

What are the odds of these numbers?

18. Now that is almost as bad as the 18,181!

Just turn those little 4 numbers around, and look what you have! Good catch.

13. So many idiots here in California

People here pretend they are so politically smart, but you put the "Governator" in front of them and they go whoooo!

[E_Zapata]

14. seems people forgot to vote on the recall issue.......

and then voted for Arnold.

Freepers win even when they are stupid as hair!

15. my aunt..

lives in California and told me she was going to vote 'no' to the recall because she didn't think it was right,BUT..she's a moderate republican so she was going to vote for McClintock. I'm guessing there were lots of people like her who voted against the recall on principle,but didn't necessarily go with Bustamante as the back up.

16. I don't doubt that there is some debating between Hitler and Mother

Teresa. But 25%! 25% vote for one of the other two Republicans. Seems really odd and fishy.
