What's really got to have Gaspar backers excited is that Roberts pulled only 39% of the vote, while the two Republicans pulled a combined 61%. With most Abed supporters likely to vote Gaspar in November, Gaspar is now the clear favorite to win the seat.
Full election results here. Not a lot of surprises, or even other interesting races.
UPDATE: Carl DeMaio's analysis here. One highlight is that Darrell Issa just barely came in ahead of a no-name Democrat.
GOOD FOR Gaspar!
ReplyDeleteShe is the best candidate. She will crush that little power hungry smug looking little Napoleon freak. November can not come soon enough. Congrats to Gaspar and Encinitas!!!
Staffers will have a sigh of relief as the little freak is sent back to his little pretend world in Solana Beach.
Later Skater!!
Once she becomes Supervisor, call her office daily to report pot holes. Her mailers showed pictures of pot holes, suggesting as Supervisor that would be her priority.
ReplyDeleteOnly fair to hold her accountable.
Favored by who? That's some fuzzy math you're using. As the incumbent, Roberts would still be considered the favorite.
ReplyDeleteNot an incumbent who pulls only 39%.
DeleteThose are awful numbers for an incumbent indicating a very high likelihood of losing the runoff.
He only pulled 31% as a non-incumbent in 2012 in the primary and won in the general by 3%.
DeleteBesides, as Encinitas residents, we know what a total zero Barbie is, let's not give her any run. I don't want some dope with a comms degree from ASU running a countywide district. Roberts is basically a Republican anyway, he switched parties when he made that personal announcement....
Delete7:20,
DeleteCorrect. And Gaspar pulled only 33-34% as a non-incumbent and will win a majority in November barring either a huge gaffe or Trump causing a Democratic landslide.
39% is abysmal for an incumbent. Very few incumbents who do that badly in an open primary go on to win the runoff.
Correction/clarification:
Delete39% would be OK if Roberts lost a lot of votes to another Democrat or someone on his left, because those votes would likely come to him in November. But when you get only 39% and all the other votes are to your right, you're in deep trouble.
Can you extrapolate the results of the June vote, with only 30,000 or so votes for the winner onto the General election, where the turnout will be much higher?
DeleteI'm not willing to make that leap.
Besides, there are still 300,000 provisional votes left to tally. Based on that, we're all jumping the gun.
From the 2012 June election:
ReplyDeleteSteve Danon .......... 33,093 votes 33.9%
Dave Roberts .......... 30,718 votes 31.5%
Carl Hilliard .......... 19,276 votes 19.8%
Bryan M. Ziegler .......... 8,425 votes 8.6%
Stephen Pate .......... 6,045 votes 6.2%
Hilliard and retiring Republican Supervisor Pam Slater-Price endorsed Roberts.
DeleteExactly, but he still came out tops in the general after coming 2nd in the primary.
DeleteI would imagine he will get a nice slate of endorsements this time as well. Roberts is essentially a Republican anyway.
I guess we'll have to wait until November to find out, but if anything, it means we will be free of Barbie in Encinitas....Good Riddance...
Not such a republican when you look at his votes to protect the environment. Not even close.
DeleteMy dad was a Republican, and a big time environmentalist as well. The two are not mutually exclusive. Roberts switched parties when he came out...
DeleteAnd BTW, if you live in Encinitas, you know Gaspar is the worst candidate. We can talk Roberts Ethics, but you can also talk Barbie's ethics, with the phantom non-profit, her alleged CFO title, and all the other pretend mantles of fame her team has created. Meanwhile, she is a do-nothing on the council, no brains, no guts, no leadership, except when it come to following the orders of development interests.
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the stupidity of the electorate.
DeleteLike it or not or understand it or not, Gaspar has done well in every election she has entered. I agree she is in a a strong position to win in November. I am sure Roberts expected to do better.
DeleteShe will turn off a lot of voters if she continues on the path of negative campaigning. Also, this is not a good year to be a republican. The party is on a downward spiral.
DeleteRoberts has accomplished a lot compared to GASpar. She doesn't have much experience. The purchase of Pacific View on her watch (even though she voted NO) was not a good thing.
You are factually inorrect. Republican presodemtial turnout set a record
DeleteDemocratic turn out was way down. You might want to stop drinking the kool aid and get your news from more accurate sources.
4:33 You can eat those words come November. I think your kool aid isn't strong enough. Chill baby.
DeleteYou can stop watching FOX news any time.
8:49
DeleteMore people voted in the Republican primary then ever before. By contrast democratic voters turnout this year was less than 2012 and 2008.
Those are facts.
I don't think the Mexican Nationalist waving Mexican flags and brutally assaulting legal Americans will be able to suppress voters turnout in America like they have in Mexico.
9:41 I have no worries that the Democrats will pound the Republican candidate for President of the US in the Nov. election.
DeleteWomen rule!
10;26 it is unfortunate you are a sexist bigot with hate towards men. A criminal,liar and crook knows no gender. Hillary and Bill are two examples.
DeleteNews out today democratic turnout was down 7 million voters from 2008. News also out Trump shattered the record.
DeleteYou have to wait until all the votes are counted. According to the Registrar of Voters this morning, there are 285,000 votes still waiting to be counted.
Delete7:21 Woof! Woof!
Delete9:41 This just proves that an idiot will attract idiots. Trump is a first-class idiot.
DeleteI certainly don't. The first poster already proved my point by saying Barbie was the best candidate. She wouldn't be the best candidate to hold a garage sale, let alone a Supervisory district...
ReplyDeleteAt least Roberts held a real job in his life...
He's held a lot more than a real job
ReplyDeleteWatch out! You'll be censored for innuendo!
DeleteThanks, Muir fat joke guy.
DeleteMuir is your hero?
DeleteDon't mistake criticism of fifth-grade humor for support of anyone.
Delete2:48 PM That was your academic pinnacle?
DeleteAll this proves is that elections are bought. The PAC's want their puppet in office, then the county is opened up for development and special accomodations to their industry. Gaspar's camp will hammer the "character" issue, as it appeared to work. Robert's needs to hit the Gas on her inexperience, puffed up resume and her dealings on the city council. Her secret meetings on density bonus and such seem to mean 'character' is all in the eyes of the beholder.
ReplyDeleteI think Trump and Sanders beg to differ with you......
DeleteNo one owns Trump. Goldman Sachs. The Saudi's, Soros and the Bilderberger's own Hillary
DeleteHalf of the mailers that came to your house were paid for by Gaspar's dark money PAC...
ReplyDeleteJack Orr said an election is not a contest, it's a "war". Barbie has an effective army of developers behind her, and the voting public is STUPID. Sad but true.
ReplyDeleteAll we need now is for the Lisa Rudloff affidavits (the ones she refused the C.M.'s order to rescind, hence her 'resignation') against Kranz to be released by the City's H.R. Dept to Voice of San Diego and Lisa Shafer to throw her hat in the ring for a reelection second term and it'll be a hot time in the old town tonight! Er, I mean, this Fall!!!
ReplyDeleteFlores from planning commission is likely to run, too.
Delete"All we need now is for the Lisa Rudloff affidavits (the ones she refused the C.M.'s order to rescind, hence her 'resignation') against Kranz ..." Please explain.
DeleteFlores has a new job and doesn't have time to waste with us; god bless'em, he is NOT running numb-nuts. Mebbe you're running?
Deletewhy so angry?
DeleteWhy don't you take this and all your other screed to voat.co. A lot more like minded individuals over there with your point of view. We here are not interested in what you have to say.
ReplyDelete"One highlight is that Darrell Issa just barely came in ahead of a no-name Democrat." Boy, you can say that again. Maybe next time an actual prominent Democrat will run and we can defeat Issa. When I looked at the ballot I wondered who the heck was Applegate.
ReplyDeleteThe spoiler Applegate was just enough. Divide and conquer folks, worked again. This was a highlight however. Issa's days are numbered just not as numbered as we could hope for at the present time.
ReplyDeleteYes, Issa could lose, come November. There was only just over one percentage point between him and Applegate, and there won't be a third party running in the Fall, as there was for the primary.
ReplyDeleteRoberts is a good guy, in my opinion; but he seems to have shown poor judgment in the people he hired. He didn't get his day in Court because the County settled. Lawyers are so expensive; they are always the winners. It was worth it to the Board of Supervisors to settle, but that doesn't mean that Roberts was guilty of any civil wrongdoing. The DA said there was no criminal liability.
Personally, I think Kristin Gaspar could do a good job. She has local roots, and cares about our community. She seems willing to listen to, and actually consider, all sides of controversial issues, unlike past Council Members, like Jerome Stocks or Teresa Barth for that matter.
She did the right thing on the Cardiff Rail Trail decision; I was glad Mark Muir and Catherine Blakespear, and finally, Tony Kranz, did the same.
Gaspar and Muir were also right to attempt to require the City, through Gus Vina, as our negotiator, to hold down the purchase price for Pacific View. Because of Teresa Barth, Tony Kranz and LIsa Shaffer, Gaspar and Muir were outnumbered, and we were essentially robbed. We could have purchased the surplus school for far less had we, through our representatives and our city attorney, been more agressive about insisting that Baird and the Board of Trustees honor the Naylor Act.
Gaspar was also the only Council Member, under Stocks as former mayor, to question robbing so many City accounts, like the open space habitat fund and the Leucadia flooding fund, to pay for completion of the Sports Complex so-called "Community Park," as well as for a new lifeguard tower, now designated as a Marine Safety Facility. She questioned the plan to develop the beach with a parking garage for lifeguards, sitting on the bluff, and she questioned the expense of the new lifeguard tower. I am now wondering why there will be a space in the tower for the Sheriff's Department?
I don't like the idea of Moonlight Beach being occupied by the County Sheriff. They should stick to patrolling the streets. They could come to Moonlight when called by a private party or by the lifeguards on duty. Otherwise, it's just more "bikini patrol."
I agree. No sheriffs stationed at Moonlight or bikini patrol. Total waste of money and bad for the residents.
ReplyDeleteHave them focused on enforcement on the N. coast highway 101 including illegal straight pipes.
When you look at the ISSA results from San Diego, those are only for the San Diego portion of the district. When you add in OC, he wins by 6% points.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this is his worst showing, and points to changing demographics. And maybe, just maybe people are realizing what complete clown and crook ISSA is...

A clarification regarding Lisa Rudloff. She did not resign, she was fired. To save face, the City let her resign, but if she didn't, she would still be gone. I haven't heard anything about what she and Kranz were up to. If anyone has that information, it would be interesting to know. She did write up 2 members of the Parks and Rec. Commission about 3 years ago, and I know those papers are still floating around City Hall. As far as Flores, he got a great new job and did not feel he could give the Planning Commission the time it deserved.He is from New Encinitas, so if anyone wants on the Planning Commisssion there is an open spot.
ReplyDeleteA clarification regarding Flores: he never did give the planning commission the time it deserved. He was not known for reading the reports in advance of the meetings, not that he was alone.
DeleteHow many of you are voting for Trump? If you are not, then you might want to visit Encinitas Votes Facebook group (Wc has put it on the left hand side of his page, in case you are not on FB) and hear Gaspar endorse him. Just sayin'
ReplyDeleteMexican nationalist hunted down and beat legal citizens attending a rally in San Jose Last week. Globalist Marxist threw bottles and rocks, kicked and punched and spit on legal female citizens attending a rally in San Jose last week. Tough to support the Mexican Nationalist and their Cartel bankers. Tough to support the globalist bankers answer their Marxist brownshirts thugs. I'll support American workers.
Delete9:49, Would you call Anerican unionized workers "Marxists?"
DeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteWow, so you live in a world where worker exploitation is cool because it's perpetrated by corporations and corporations are good. Greed is good. Read your late 19th/early 20th century history and tell us how sweatshops were the greatest things since sliced bread and the unions ruined all the fun and good livin'.
DeleteI think it's comical. Maybe Trump will pick her to be his VP. She would fit right in with his group.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to duct tape Logan Jenkins mouth. He has already declared GASpar as the November winner. He is so caught up in the way she dresses and, of course, he loves her heels.
ReplyDeleteBy the sound of it, these are the only qualifications she needs to win the Board seat. GASpar, in her super wonder woman fashion, said she got in the race because the Board meetings are held during the day and not at night, so that leaves time for her to tuck her kids in bed each night. How sweet. Where was she for them the last five years?
You would think she is the only woman on earth that had a job and children.
We will see what November brings. GASpar voted for Trump so he can carry on the Republican ideals that she holds so dear.
Gimme a big bucket (barf)
I predict it too. She is Novembers winner by a huge margin....
ReplyDeleteYou bleeding heart liberals are sore losers. Ha
9:55 It's refreshing to see you support a candidate with no brains and no experience and is in bed with the developers.
DeleteYou must be a Trump follower.
10:36 - No.
ReplyDeleteI'M A Gaspar follower. Keep up the good work, girl. Make us proud!!!!
Proud to be brainless and as vacuous as Barbie!
Delete9:42 You took the words right out of my mouth. I would bet 12:31 is a blonde.
DeleteYour betting record sucks. You better stay about from Vegas or the state lottery.
ReplyDeleteOnly dummies go to Vegas to throw away their money.
ReplyDelete12:57 seems like a dummy.
ReplyDelete1:11 How profound.
