'Lineage'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yeah, Seattle had two major street parties going last night, one on Broadway - the main street of Capital Hill, the young/gay district, and one on Pike which connects Capital Hill to Downtown.
Apparently they ran past 1:30 am because as people left, others joined them.
Actually, a friend on LJ has photos in an unlocked post, so here you go - [link]
Roughly 63% of eligible folks voted.
According to XM's pollitics channel this morning, this year's voting rate may be the highest since 1908. A full century.
Roughly 1/3 of populace voted.
Roughly 63% of eligible folks voted.
Does that mean only 1/3 of our populace is eligable to vote? Or is that 63% of registered voters?
I couldn't find registered voter stat, only eligible stat.
1/3 is total populace that voted. Children, immigrants, etc.
population : 301 million
Those eligible to vote: 213 million
Votes: 120 million
All heavily rounded numbers. And votes are still being count.
(gosh, I hope my Gronk numbers estimate were close, seeing how we got some math whizzes in here)
According to the LA country registrar prop 8 passed by a .9% margin, 20,806 votes.
Is there an automatic re-count for when the margin is below a certain percentage?

Laga, that has to be just for the county, right? Because statewide, it won bigger:
Yes 5,163,908 52.0%
No 4,760,336 48.0%
That was with 95% of precincts reporting.
I heard on NPR this morning that 77% of eligible voters voted in my home state of Minnesota.
At 5PM, my mom's precinct had an 85% turnout.
