Valencia Increases Lead in Fullerton D4 Count
In what is shaping up to be Fullerton’s most expensive Council race ever, newcomer Jamie Valencia has increased her lead from yesterday’s 19 to 41. Here’s the November 19 tally.
At this point 41 votes is a significant lead and the trend for the past three counts is in Valencia’s favor. I don’t know how many ballots are left to count from the so-called provisional ballot pile. And then there’s the possibility that Valencia and Jaramillo are doing ballot “curing” in which ballots (that include a vote for a candidate) that have been disqualified by the Registrar of Voters are validated by the voter himself. Some of these may already be counted and the remaining such ballots, if any, may add to the totals.
And hey! Look there! The confessed perjurer Scott Markowitz, whose phony candidacy was created by the dope lobby and Democrat supporters of Vivian Jaramillo, is only 3 votes away from 1000, proving that the slimy idea to take votes away from Linda Whitaker was a well-calculated one, given the Democrat/Dopers expectation that she would run a real campaign.
Did anyone really expect Linda to actually work for it? In any case it’s good to see Jaramillo falling farther behind. Zahra must be having hissy fits behind the scenes.
Zahra has his Zahra Zombies. They will continue to march for him because he makes them feel good. Doesn’t improve their lives except to take credit for a useless trail and a street closure no one uses because it is useless as well. Will they wake up and ask a few questions? Like is your life better now than it was 6 years ago when he started trying to destroy Fullerton to promote himself?
Best news ever. Zhara will NEVER be the Mayor of Fullerton!
Second best news, Aaruni, Zhara, and the Kennedy Sisters all get implicated in this election scheme to fraud the voters of Fullerton’s (Ward 4) of a fair and honest election.
Zara shouldn’t be mayor. He lies. Lied to us about marihuana.
Newsflash: he lied to you about everything.
Jamie doubled her lead.
Valencia or Cannabis Kitty Jabbamillo: either way Fullerton loses!
Some number crunching here.
OC Vote says there’s 39,600 votes left to count. If those votes are spread evenly across the county, that would be about 1750 uncounted votes in Fullerton and less than 1/5 of that in D4, which had significantly lower turnout than D2. So Jamie is looking good but there are still enough votes to swing the election back to Kitty.
1/5th would be 350. Jamie’s 36% would be 126. Jabamillo’s 35.5% would be 124.
There’s enough votes to swing back to Vivian but it would mean a pig in a python cluster. How likely is that?
None of that math is correct because it is based on assumptions. No need to assume. There are real numbers readily available per the ROV. Use those and you will know the likely result of this election.
What “math” do you disagree with?
Don’t understand stochastic statistics, do you?
When in doubt, hammer the over!
on Markowitz!
STOP giving out ideas to the other side!
Speaking of math,
How about those consultants that couldn’t subtract 1500 from 13000 last night!
Money well sent.

Please someone. Come quick! Call the WHAMBULANCE!
They’re coming unglued. Soon the Kennedy Sisters will deny being sisters.
Ridiculous. The mere mention of defamation is laughable. Would love to see Jaramillo file a SLAPP suit as suggested indirectly by the author and directly by the idiot commenters. Those fools clearly reading this blog and feeling butt hurt. Anti-SLAPP laws are no joke! Then there’s also the little problem they’d have with the truth as an absolute defense.
No kidding! We could find out all about what Vivian knows about Markowitz! Bring it on.
“Team Jaramillo”. A marketing classic, bravo!
As of 11/20, total uncounted ballots countywide reduced to 32,000, Jamie’s lead increased slightly to 44.
I declare Valencia the winner! Fullerton will have and see brighter days ahead.
Take heed, Dick.
