More on Donna Frye

A while ago I wrote a post about Donna Frye running as a write-in candidate for Mayor here in San Diego. When I wrote the post, I honestly believed she had a good chance of winning, then later I began to get some doubts. Well, the election was November 2nd, but we still don't know who the winner is. The votes were counted electronically, with "write-in" getting the most votes, but until they read all of the write-in votes to see whose name was written in, we really won't know. Often, people will write in Mickey Mouse, or some other nonsensical name, or they will write in themselves.

For those who haven't been following the local news, here are the current counts blatantly copied from the San Diego Union's web site:

Write-In 127,641
Verified: D. Frye 24,473
Dick Murphy 123,822
Ron Roberts 112,314

What they don't say is how many write-in votes have been counted so far. If only 24,473 write in votes have been counted so far, and they're all for Donna, then she's well on her way to becoming our next mayor. However, if 28,000 and some odd write-in votes have been counted, and only 24,473 are for Donna, then she's probably not going to make it :(

Here's an article that was in today's paper about her:
