Exit Polls/polling in general always lowballs peoples' ignorance for gay marriage, so if the polls were close, this doesn't really surprise me.

MikeQ, i'm watching http://edition.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/re ... /#CAI01map

that's the map, and it tells you when the last update was in that particular county. i know that a lot of No winning areas still have huge amounts of votes to go compared to Yes on average.

Just looked through the demographics for the Hate Bill exit polling in Florida, and the only groups that supported it were Whites 18-29 (by a small margin), Jews (by a large margin) and Graduate Degree Holders (by a medium margin).

Umm...pathetic. But yay Jews!

Yes 1.989 (53%) vs 1.764 (47%)

difference 225k

23%

Finally a more positive update. getluv's right, San Francisco precincts have barely reported.

don't ruin a great night, California.

53% vs 47%

237k difference
25%

Okay... looking good... go SF and Silicon Valley!

Why exactly is it looking good? The yes side is winning still, and the margin is increasing.

It was looking good 8 minutes ago


EDIT: Hmmm.. 52-48 on Yes according to the local Fox station.

CNN:

Yes leading by 257K with 33% of the vote counted.

Ugh Los Angeles.

The county disappointed me.

Can I be racist tomorrow against certain kinds of groups? :razz:

christian republicans and mormons.

Hah.

I understand Orange County (Republican stronghold). But Los Angeles. Just wrong on so many levels.

52-48

Many of the Yes votes come from the Black and the Hispanic communities.

Vote by Race
Total Yes No
White (63%) 47% 53%
African-American (10%) 70% 30%
Latino (19%) 51% 49%
Asian (6%) 47% 53%
Other (3%) 50% 50%


It may be why LA is so low. I imagine a large number of those are christians and mormons but it is not all republicans.

Still at 52-48 with about 48% reporting:

Good news:
Alameda Country - large country with 65% no only 1/3 of precincts reporting
Contra Costa - large county with 55% no only 1/5 of precincts reporting
Marin - medium? country with 73% no 2/3rds reporting
Monterey- Medium sized going 52% no with 1/3rd reporting
Santa Clara- 55% no with only 1/3 reporting...large
Napa, San Mateo, Santa Barbara, Yolo all can give some more push

Bad News:
Los Angeles - 45% no with about 50 reporting
Lots of medium sized counties with a lot of precincts left to report
Orange Country - bad bad news...42% no large county with only 1/3rd reporting
San Francisco is already 98% reported (maybe the 2% un-reported are big precincts? we can hope)

So what am I to make of those Black voters in California who voted for Obama and change but simultaneously supported a ban on gay marriage AFTER it was legalized?


70% is unforgivable.

Many people consider homosexuality a choice..... as far as marriage is concerned it si but so is interracial marriage.

Black voters were 80% in Florida.

curse them. what else can u do?

i hate to say this. but wtf abortion is ok, but gay marriage is not. *shakes head*

52.5 Yes at 48% reporting

I'm so disheartened.

hypocritical morons, two faced bastards, WTF.
