Primaries to watch Tuesday (3/5/24) (Super Tuesday) (outside of presidential)

[Bernie Derangement Syndrome Haver]

Simitian v. Low is not decided yet - any ideas as to how that will be resolved?

Simitian appears to have won by 4 votes.

Not so fast...Low is up by one vote again.

Damn

Joe Simitian

With the added voted this is now a difference of .0005%

Did you think it couldn't get any closer?  It got closer:

Alert: it actually happened. Low and Simitian are now tied. Legally if it stays this way there will be a 3-way runoff, but there may be a tiny number of votes left, and a recount was guaranteed weeks ago.

I have read that any candidate or voter can request a recount BUT they have to pay for it. No request no recount. So do Low or Simitian prefer a 50/50 shot at a 2 way race or a guaranteed 3 way race. How about Liccardo? Recounts ain't cheap.

Game theory all but guarantees someone will request it. That's what I meant. Especially if there are like 10 more votes left in the system and someone pulls ahead.

Ohtaki requests it because #stopthesteal would be hilarious

Never let anyone tell you your vote doesn’t count…

I was talking to a politically aware colleague who lived in the area for decades before moving to Texas a year ago.  She thinks Liccardo would prefer to be in a 2-way race, especially if it's against Simitian, rather than a 3-way.
