Election Update #8: This Election Demonstrates Anchorage Voters Are Saner Than Some Thought

Here's how many votes so far:  60,247
There are still five precincts unreported.  This is close to 11,000 more voters than on election night in April.  And Berkowitz is 11,000 votes ahead of Demboski. 

And there are still over 10,000 votes that came in early and will be counted later (at least I'm making the assumption they will do that like last time.) 


DEMBOSKI, Amy     24,555 40.76%
BERKOWITZ, Ethan 35,692 59.24%

Election Results #7 - Berkowitz 59% Demboski 40.9% With 53,761Votes Counted - This Election Is Pretty Much Over

I don't see a way for Demboski to catch up at this point.  There are some 10,000 or so early votes still to be counted.  But I would imagine the spread will be similar to tonight.  But Demboski almost all of them to win.  Not gonna happen.

You know, it will be hard for Demboski to concede to someone who supports fathers marrying their sons.   (The picture of Jonathan Swift is my sarcasm alert icon.)

53,761 votes cast - more than election night in April.  But only 92.7% of all the precincts. 

DEMBOSKI, Amy     22,000 40.93%
BERKOWITZ, Ethan 31,744 59.07%

Election Update #6: Berkowitz 60,5% Demboski 39.4% 46,049 Votes Counted

21:30pm


46,049 votes in.  Just 3,000 or so less than the April election night total.  Has there ever been an Anchorage runoff election with more voters than the main election?  



DEMBOSKI, Amy     18,177   39.47%
BERKOWITZ, Ethan 27,872   60.53%

Election Update #5: Berkowitz 60.4% Demboski 39.6% with 39,217 Votes Counted

At the end of the night in April, 24% of the voters had voted or 49,288 votes.  After the early/absentee votes were counted it was up to 55,260 (26.1%)

Keep that in mind.  That means we could be  3/4 of the way  there  for tonight with this count. 


Time: 21:23pm
Number (%) of votes:  39,217 (19%)

DEMBOSKI, Amy     15,545   39.64%
BERKOWITZ, Ethan 23,672   60.36%

Election Update #4: Berkowitz 62.5% Demboski 37.5%

I would expect Demboski votes to pick up as the South Anchorage and Eagle River/Chugiak votes get counted.



TIME: 21:13 pm
Votes cast: 24120                 11%


DEMBOSKI, Amy       9038 37.47%
BERKOWITZ, Ethan 15082 62.53%

Third Election Update: Berkowitz 62% - Demboski 37% with 12,375 Votes Counted

Let's remember that the votes are taken from the polling places to City Hall to be counted.  The closest polling places to City Hall are downtown where Berkowitz is expected to do well.  The ballots from Eagle River and Chugiak (Demboski's stronghold) will come in a little later. 

There also appear to be 960 new voters since the April election.  Then, there were 206,003 voters listed and tonight there are 206,993.  But remember, that number is very high - almost 90% of voting age folks in Anchorage.  Many have moved away or died, but haven't been purged from the voter list. 

We had 2.6% of votes (at least of the 206,963) counted at the last update. 

This time we have 5.98% counted - or 12,378 votes counted.

Election Night Off To Bad Start From This Blogger's Perspective

Here's a screen shot of the Muni's election page. (Because this is an image, the links won't work)

Note, there is a link for election results - but it's for the April election.

I can't find a link for today's election results. So, they either
wipe out the April results to do tonight's,
or . . .? ?

This has been the place to get results for the last several Muni elections. 

I do have an email in asking about this, but I suspect they are busy doing other things.

 Maybe I should check Twitter for this.

Two minutes later:  Bingo.  I found this link - http://results.muni.org/Runoff.htm

 Nothing up yet. There was a run around noon that showed no results. But at least I have a place to look when the results come in.

No Matter How Much Damage Humans Do, This Much Won't Change

Big waves this week.  From Venice pier this afternoon.

More Venice Pier posts:  Here's Pier Review and  Pier Review 2 with some big waves.   And more waves from Venice Pier with my better camera.  And finally Rafael catching a great white shark from the end of Venice Pier.
