Please proclaim who us the winner based on the decision of the voters.

Why is it taking too long??

It is time to announce the mayor .. Silicon Valley should be very efficient to announce the name immediately and not holding it .

Don’t let manipulation .

How do we not have a first class, start of the art tracking system (in the heart of Silicon Valley) where we show case the entire world how our voting works. This is an embarrassment… no geographical data, no hourly update input. And now the election mail has been found in Santa Cruz county and on the offshore of the highways??? What is going on. This is definitely contempt by the system. The USPS are investigating it but it sure seems like the paper trail leads back to them. Doesn’t make sense. Every vote counts!

Chavez rigged the County redistricting for Arenas, so Chavez has already won one election. For our sake, I hope she doesn’t win two.

The ROV estimate of total votes expected is based on their turnout estimate. It is likely ioff for a mid term election. Total votes received in the last contested mayor race in 2014 was 180,000 votes. Over 200,000 votes have already been counted in this race. No way it gets to 270k plus based on historical turnout in non-presidential election. Deadline for mail ballots is tomorrow, we’ll know then what the actual turnout was.

Almost a week after Elections in California – and all you can do is laugh at the governance and bureaucracy that your tax dollars are supporting.
Just remember you have less than 1 month to send your Property Tax payments to the county to ensure that your local government & services are run efficiently and you enjoy the clean and safe community environment that you are funding.

@SJC. Why would you be shocked? Assuming you live in San Jose. I personally have never seen this level of homeless ness. Such a high crime rate. And so many people with mental issues living on our streets. Sane people decided to vote against the career Politician who has been in office for over 15+ years. And under whose “leadership” things have gotten as bad as they are. Hopefully Matt Mahan will continue to lead and win. But even if he does. A Mayor’s responsibilities are primarily budgetary and facilitation. The city council members and other elected officials have meetings and decide what/where to build. Irene Smith and Johnny Khamis would have been great. But sadly, their career politician opponents won.

The voting system in CA is pathetic. The fact we don’t know who the Mayor is yet is mind boggling – and sending out mail-in ballots to millions of people without them requesting is a bad idea. It’s lazy.

And now they found a stack of ballots on the side of 101. . Don’t know where it came from or how it got there. Probably just enough for Chavez to pull the hokey pokey.

Im shocked that EVERYONE including moderates backed Chavez and she isnt ahead…figured she’d campaign in those neighborhoods of the councilmembers who backed her (esp Dev Davis) and cut off any chance Mahan had to make inroads…but he was the one to campaign in her strongholds…he may nor may not win and I didn’t vote for him…but for a 39 year old to go toe to toe with a former vice mayor, head of bay area labor and president of the county supervisors and hold his own if not do better than her in the debates is damn impressive
