Election Tidings

It’s a windy night; the storm that went through yesterday left 0.62” of rain and took the power down across the street. I’ve been following the election results all evening—the polls here closed at 8 PM. Measure X, the Covell Village development issue, looks like it’s headed to a fairly decisive defeat. At this moment, all of the propositions in the California election are losing as well, though a couple of them are still close. Since this was a special election only called because Governor Arnold wanted several of these propositions to go through, this is going to turn into a significant political defeat for him.
