Update: Mendo Measure B Election Results Not Final!!!

MENDOCINO MEASURE B VOTE COUNT NOT COMPLETE
Measure B Vote Lead Diminishing With 11,000 votes to count
Release by Mendocino No on Measure B Committee - Jun 4, 5PM:
The Mendocino No on Measure B Committee
(http://nomeasureb.org) is happy to announce that a substantial
number of votes remain to be counted in last night's election,
throwing the outcome in doubt.
The margin for Measure B, initially reported to be 56%, has
shrunk to just 52% with 16,285 votes recorded. According to the voter
registrar's office (Jun4, 4 PM) there remain to be counted another
10,835 walk-in absentees and 439 provisional ballots, enough to erase
B's 700-vote margin. Being late-arriving and weighted toward
districts that favor our side, there is a good chance these votes
could alter the balance towards "No."
The No on B Committee stands hopeful that Measure B will be
defeated in the final count. In any case, we are proud of our
strong showing against opponents who had expected to trounce us.
We faced powerful opposition from the Board of Supervisors, the
county's leading newspapers and media, the City Councils of Ukiah
and Willits, the sheriff, the DA, and local business interests upset
about competing with the high wages paid to workers in the marijuana
industry. Our campaign started out far behind in organization
and trailed in funding. The election was deliberately scheduled by
the Board of Supervisors for a low-turnout June primary ballot,
where older, more conservative voters predominate Had the
election been in November instead, we most likely would have won.
In the meantime, the outcome of this election remains in doubt.
The registrar has given no indication when further vote totals will
be available, but has 28 days to certify final results.
We are gratified that so many Mendocinans agreed with us that
Measure B is a "Bad prescription" for the county's real problems with
large-scale, commercial marijuana growing. We stand ready to offer
more thoughtful, productive proposals.
