46th Place

Readers, the results are in from our California brethren, and Mark Valdez is perplexed about the lack of the community musical theater response in the Davis area:

"With 100% of the precincts now reporting, it now appears I got 1499 votes! 46th place in a field of 135: about 1/3 from the top. Ballot placement helped - I was third on the ballot list in LA County, and I got about 500 votes there. The Hispanic name no doubt helped. Plus maybe a video that played on cable access channels in the LA area. Yolo County, where I do musical theater, was not as productive as I had hoped: 16 votes, if I'm not mistaken. I need to look into the matter more deeply and see what happened."
