California special election results

Finding the results of this election is not easy. Frustrating. Perhaps it’s because I’m in a hurry?

Below are the results, which I don’t feel like taking the energy to format. You can view them here.

Here are links to Instapundit’s roundup of coverage. Megan Mcardle sums it up nicely…

Whoever is to blame, the state was bound to go broke one day, and hey, today’s that day!

Link 3 … they say “No Way!”

Perhaps the media displeasure post explains why finding results of the election is so difficult?
