Election Results

UPDATE3 (Wednesday): Final numbers with all precincts reporting: 74% on Y and 70% on Z. Wow. Great job to everybody on the campaign, the phonebankers (there were a lot of them), the marchers, the signwavers, and all the folks who brought up the importance of these bonds to their neighbors and friends. The resounding approval shows Torrance residents support their schools.

UPDATE2: With 36% of the precincts reporting, Measure Y is even higher, at 73% and Z is up to 70%. In order for the bond measures to end up not passing, the rest of the vote would have to come in at below 50% - very unlikely. This is because the voters from areas that have yet to report aren't going to think much differently about the bond measures compared to those whose votes have already been counted. So I go to bed happy about the results on these measures.

UPDATE: With 27% of precincts reporting, Measure Y is at 72% and Z is at 69%. This is looking really good so far.

With 5% of precincts in, we're at 68% on Measure Y and 64% on Measure Z. Remember, it takes 55% to pass each of the school bonds. A simple majority is not enough.
