The following calculations are based on information
that was posted on the California Secretary of State
WWW site as of 8:57 a.m. this morning.
I expect this data to change slightly over the course
of the next few weeks as thousands of other ballots
are counted and tabulated.
Despite claims of a "landslide victory" for Arnold
Schwarzenegger, the numbers clearly show that he has
NO mandate to govern California
So far, the numbers indicate that about 51.7% of those
persons who cast ballots in this election voted for
candidates OTHER than Schwarzenegger.
Since Schwarzenegger did not win a majority of the
vote in this election, he cannot claim that his views
and ideas represent the will of the electorate.
Sincerely,
Duane J. Roberts
