![]() I was ambivalent (somewhat favorable), so I’ll not cry, rant, nor cheer, gloat over the results… I just hope everyone ‘gets their wish’ as to the consequences of their votes, and the resultant outcome.ĭo you think lawn signs and mailers actually influence more than a small portion of rational folk? I think not… confusion, maybe, which tends to lead to No votes…ĭo you consider the majority of voters non-rational, where they vote based on lawn signs and mailers (you may have a point, there… but I hope not)? I still want to believe that most voters actually thought was in their best interest, and some actually thought was in the best interest of the community as a whole as well… and weighed those. ![]() Ironically (?) there is a certain former CC member/mayor who was on the Covell Village team, and a proponent, who “lost” on Measure X (killing the project), and is listed as an opponent of Measure H… an ‘epiphany’?įact is, no matter how wants to analyze it, Measure H failed. Many those who support the JeRkeD ordinance(s) cite the “spin” rather than the intent of the framers of Measure J. That was the ‘genius’ of Measure J, under the guise of ‘vox populi’. Would be an interesting speculation that if the measure was worded oppositely, i.e., a majorityvote was required to overturn a CC action (as in a referendum, remedy if no JeRkeD ordinance), what the numbers would have been… the fact is, as the Measure was worded/presented, for folk ‘unsure’, the default for a great # of people is ‘No’… so, a confused electorate will give any“No” campaign anywhere from a 30-40% advantage (which is primary reason that the referendum on the original Wildhorse measure failed to overturn the approvals), if the water is muddied enough… we’ve seen it time and time again. To which I’d add, “what was the turnout %-age of eligible voters?”Īs to turnout, expect that many ‘ok’ with H, did not feel strongly in favor… most of the folk on the “hell NO!” side I think felt strongly against, with many feeling so, to the point of zealotry… ![]() I think I understand where you’re going with the question… Population, or registered, active, registered voters? The Vanguard will have more on these races. There is still an outstanding precinct in that race. While there are still votes to count, Frerichs has a strong lead over Beck, 65 to 35 percent or about a 1400-vote spread with about 4700 votes cast. The other contested local race saw Lucas Frerichs take on Juliette Beck for Supervisor. Both the incumbent DA and sheriff, covered more fully by Robert Hansen, won easy reelection. Neither side has issued a statement on the results-the Vanguard will have more as more information becomes available.Įlsewhere none of the local races were close. While it is not clear how many votes are still outstanding, by the end of tabulation on election evening, No had a 3000-vote margin out of 11,000 votes cast, and a 63.5 to 36.5 percentage lead.ĭeferring comment was the Yes on H campaign as well as Councilmember Dan Carson, who found himself at the center of controversy when he filed the writ to change the ballot language for the No on H arguments-that decision looms pivotal in a campaign that saw a joint effort to secure attorney fees. Davis, CA – Despite being a smaller project with a seemingly more favorable environment than in 2020, DiSC has apparently gone down to an overwhelming loss.
