California Election Results Website Overloaded with Traffic

The California Secretary of State election results site at http://vote.sos.ca.gov/ is overwhelmed with visitors and has slowed to a crawl.
The California Secretary of State site at http://vote.sos.ca.gov/ is overwhelmed with visitors and has slowed to a crawl as people try to browse the election results.

In very early results, 11% of precincts reporting, Prop 8 is ahead with 55% of the vote.

As polling came to a close a few hours ago, the No on 8 campaign was reaching out to voters on the streets in such neighborhoods as San Francisco's Richmond District, where Prop 8 opponents were holding No-on-8 signs written in Chinese on street corners along Clement Street.

Shortly after McCain's concession speech this evening, people around the Bay Area have spontaneously taken to the streets to celebrate Obama's victory in the presidential race. In Berkeley, groups of people are cheering and cars are honking along University Avenue.
