Woodland, CA – Yolo County released its latest results and Measure N continues to maintain its lead, now with more than 20,000 votes tallied in the March 5 election.
The parcel tax has received just under 14,000 votes or 67.78 percent of the vote, a full percentage above what is needed for passage at 66.66.
That is slightly lower than the 67.87 percent it tallied after Tuesday’s canvass. And slightly under the 68.05 percent the parcel tax received in 2020. Nevertheless, the lead has been remarkably consistent since the first tally on election night and appears headed for victory.
The county is expected to wrap up the county votes by Tuesday, March 19.
Moreover, at this time, it is unclear how many there are even left to tally. As of Friday, the number of estimated county votes remaining is just 1785. How many of those are in Davis is unclear.
Of that total, 382 were received after Election Day, 30 were provisional, 506 were conditional, and 865 require further review. Based on that, it seems highly unlikely that the outcome will change.
In the meantime, the support for the recall of Emily MacDonald continues to grow, up to nearly 64 percent of the vote.
It was announced at the Woodland School Board Meeting on Thursday that the Yolo County Office of Education had received her resignation, making the outcome of the recall election moot at this point—though clearly she saw the writing on the wall.
The Vanguard has been attempting to acquire a copy of the resignation letter but was unable to at publication time.
The overwhelming success of the Emily MacDonald recall should serve as a warning to any supporter of the conservative extremist organization Moms for Liberty. Supporters should think twice before running for any elected office in either Woodland or Davis.
And the fact that it happened in Woodland, not Davis, makes it even more interesting to me
Here is related story from conservative Orange County. Looks like Moms for Liberty supporters are losing there too.
