In San Diego County, California, home to the nation's eighth largest city, Gary Kreep, the leading birther attorney is about to win the election to the Superior Court, Office number 34. (Reports differ on whether Kreep and Orly Taitz filed a joint birther lawsuit or separate lawsuits on Inauguration Day.) Gary George Kreep led by 56 votes the day after election day. The county registrar of voters has been announcing updates at 5:00 pm each weekday. There were about 117,000 absentee and provisional ballots to count. At first, opponent Garland Peed pulled ahead by over 1,000 votes (getting about 52% of 29,000). But over the weekend, the tide turned in Kreep's favor: he got 50.6% of 62,000, leaving him about 500 votes behind. Since then, the trend in Kreep's favor has been steep and straight line consistent: 59% of 22,000. With only 4,000 or so ballots left to count, Kreep is ahead by 1,088 out of more than 401,000 votes. For his opponent to win, he needs at least 63% of what's left. We can be sure that's not going to happen.
I made the above calculations based on daily vote counts and uncounted ballot counts published by the nctimes.com or announced by the registrar of voters at sdvote.com.
Back in summer 2009, when Glenn Beck declared that President Obama has "a deep seated hatred of white people", Kreep established the "DefendGlenn" Web site to counter the successful backlash.
When the county bar association rated judicial candidates for this election, it rated Kreep as "lacking qualifications".
Just four days ago, the Web site of Kreep's longtime legal foundation announced that the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal challenging Obama's birth certificate. Kreep filed the appeal on behalf of conservative fire breather Alan Keyes, Rev. Wiley Drake, and Markham Robinson. Rev. Drake is the Southern Baptist pastor in Orange County, California who drew notoriety in June 2009 for praying for the death of Obama.
