D4 Election Update
As of last night the very close election for Fullerton’s District 4 city council seat got even less close.
Newcomer Jamie Valencia’s lead over Vivian “Cannabis Kitty” Jaramillo has grown to 50. And her lead has been increasing at every count for a week and a half. With the number of outstanding ballots in the 4th ever-dwindling, things are looking grim for Team Jaramillo that includes the dope lobbyists who poured $60,000 into a pro-Jaramillo Independent Expenditure committee. That investment is starting to look like it’s not going to be paying any dividends.
Supposedly there are about 22,000 ballots left to count, county-wide. Prorated that would mean maybe about 130 ballots left to count in D4. Jaramillo would need to get 50 more than Valencia just to pull even. That doesn’t seem very likely.
Close enough to force a recount. How much does that cost anyway? If the chronic lobby already dumped $60k into this thing what’s a few more G’s to see if you get lucky with some hanging chads?
Haha. We don’t have chads.
Seriously, a 50 vote margin won’t be made up in a recount. You might get a few changes but they’re just as likely to go against you.
Like I said before, I am not really pleased with Valencia winning, but the alternative down right sickens me.
I find it hilarious that they threw everything they had at it including the kitchen sink and it looks like (hopefully) they still couldn’t get it done.
They should have picked someone who didn’t exude condensation and self centered righteousness.
Maybe their first clue should have been she calls herself Kitty.
“They should have picked someone who didn’t exude condensation and self centered righteousness.”
She exuded condensation alright: bullets of sweat. That was a non-starter.
Yeah, she gave off an air of self-righteousness and entitlement. She made that district. It was hers. And she is one of the “good guys.”
Condensation
LOL
That should say condescension.
But maybe my phone actually knows better!
Valencia’s up by 54. Let’s call it FFFF!
Only 20 votes added today. It’s all over.
Valencia +13 votes.
Jabamillo + 9 votes.
Whitaker + 5 votes.
Markowitz + 4 votes.
31 total added today.
You are correct.
I slipped a digit.
Again, I declare Valencia the winner!
You think you’re so damn smart.
Hanging Kitty was a week ago. No more posts.
The hubris here was terrific. All the boohoos and the ML lobby couldn’t haul that sanctimonious melting mudslide across the finish line first.
She had all those texts and emails and prayers – AFTER all the ballots were cast. What on Earth were they praying for, that ballots would mysteriously change?
I wonder what is going through Zahra’s little Green Card Fraud head. No I don’t. He’s already organizing a big Fullerton BooHoo gathering to berate the Council when he can’t get appointed Mayor.
He can hold his hands to his breast and choke up and thank everybody from showing up and to keep the faith.
Kitty’s pretending to be the victim of dirty tricks rather than the perpetrator is pretty fucking rich.
Who is the bad guys in this motion picture and who’s the good guys? Do all the good guys wear matching unis? Entitled Kitty thinks she owns the patent on good. So happy she lost. The dumb lady should take a hit to her ego like her face looks like she took a few on the chin. She looks like Jay Leno on his way to grab a bite to eat.
Jay Leno fell down a hill face is Kitty. Need long hair.
“A lot of dirty tricks thrown in our path”
Now that’s rich.
I’d like to see the Council kick the Observer rack out of the City Hall lobby. That’s propaganda, not news.
“Dirty tricks” seems to be the term they’re going with in Fullerton BooHoo.
If they think the educational program about Jaramillo was dirty, wait ’til Zahra tries to run for something else.
Kitty’s latest and greatest thought on Facebook is a backhanded complaint that no one knows who her opponent is! Que?!? Far as I can tell old lady no one knows who you are. You’re a political nobody, just another repeat election loser like your pal Josh Newman. Also, who is your opponent? You had a few. One who and your team trumped as a viable candidate to take votes away from your opponent. That plot didn’t work out so well Oceans 4.
Clueless, pretentious wannabe politician is a sore loser. This should not be unexpected. I would suspect more games from Kitty because if you ain’t cheatin you ain’t tryin.
Jabbamillo is as far from “good” as the east is from the west.
I have this for her.
From her old days haunting the Nextdoor app.
It was the clown emoji. It didn’t post.
