you ve seen the blue fill in. you ve seen the red fill in. we ve been through this drill many times. here s where things stand right now. we ve obviously called this race. the no vote right now at 2.77 million more than the yes vote. remember, this ballot had two questions. you vote no on the recall, you re done. you vote yes, then you have 46 options to replace gavin newsom. clearly gavin newsom and the no vote are winning handily. here s why. i think it s important to dig into these results here. keep in mientd baseline. democrats have an almost 2-1 advantage in registration. so for republicans to have any shot whatsoever they needed independents to break their way, major democratic apathy, and you needed republicans to surge. i want to pick out three counties in particular just to start things off. you start with the biggest county in the state-s, los angeles county. gavin neuse wm a no vote 73% to a 26%. this was a blowout. however, this was an area they hoped there could be? repub
