San Diego Write-In Candidate Now Shown to Have Received the Most Votes

December 15th, 2004

Today, San Diego city elections officials released the results of an examination of certain write-in ballots cast for Mayor last month. They show that over 4,100 voters wrote in Donna Frye for Mayor, but didn’t blacken the oval next to the write-in line. If these votes are considered valid, Frye received the most votes for Mayor on November 2.

This factual revelation increases the likelihood that Frye will pursue an appeal in the State Court of Appeals, to obtain a decision that those type of votes should be counted.

    I’m getting tired of all these liberals trying to count all the votes. Where do they think we are–the Ukraine?

    Andrew, I agree with you, but this is more an issue of circumstances than anything else. (Unlike the governor race in Washington, where Democrats are “finding” more ballots to count).

    I don’t agree with what I wrote. I was being sarcastic, and poking fun at those who think that recounting votes is somehow “stealing”.
