dear lord... Go california!

One of the odder stats of Election Night: As of Wednesday morning, 287,590 Californians had cast ballots for indicted state Sen. Leland Yee for secretary of state. That’s good for nearly 10 percent of the vote.

That’s also more votes than five other secretary of state candidates who haven’t been indicted received.

Only in this stupid country can one remain in a political race despite federal indictment.

you think i can renew my LTC if im under federal indictment?
Pure garbage.

hopefully leland yee canmeet some male buddies in prison but i doubt such justice will ever be reached.

Wonder how many of those voters reside under headstones?
Inquiring minds would love to know.

Knee-jerk voting is going to be the downfall of this country.

Surprised he didn't get more than 10%. So many voters just vote based on the D or R after the name on the ballot with no other knowledge of the candidate.

Except it was the primary. They knew what they were doing.

The only thing I find surprising about that vote was that he came in third and not first.
