Those of us obsessively tracking the California results last night were constantly reminded how tiny San Benito County was a scary-accurate
predictor of statewide elections. Turns out that while yesterday's results weren't as accurate as usual, they were still
pretty accurate:
Prop. 73
Statewide: yes 47, no 53
San Benito: yes 47, no 53
Prop. 74
statewide: yes 45, no 55
San Benito: yes 42, no 58
Prop. 75
statewide: yes 46, no 54
San Benito: yes 44, no 56
Prop. 76
Statewide: yes 38, no 62
San Benito: yes 34, no 66
Prop. 77
Statewide: yes 41, no 59
San Benito: yes 39, no 61
Prop. 78
Statewide: yes 42, no 58
San Benito: yes 40, no 60
Prop. 79
Statewide: yes 39, no 61
San Benito: yes 38, no 62
Prop. 80
Statewide: yes 34, no 66
San Benito: yes 36, no 64
Looks like we'll all be obsessing over San Benito on November 2006 to see if Arnold's unwelcome stay in Sacramento will be cut short.
