Comments on: Sam Liccardo: It’s The Counting https://www.sanjoseinside.com/opinion/sam-liccardo-its-the-counting/ A look inside San Jose politics and culture Sun, 05 May 2024 04:02:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6.12 By: TK https://www.sanjoseinside.com/opinion/sam-liccardo-its-the-counting/#comment-1804970 Sun, 05 May 2024 04:02:22 +0000 https://www.sanjoseinside.com/?p=201209013#comment-1804970 To Concerned Citizen,
Regular election process played out, these two candidates each received over 30,000 votes, with understanding that this is not a final round. Both candidates were equally supported by voters in the district and deserving to advance to November.

Until Liccardo’s friends decided to assist the voters with decision making and “simplify” this runoff. Because surely voters will be unable to make up their mind properly if there are 3 candidates instead of 2?!!

And while dropping $300K on a recount to make one of his opponents go away was not illegal, it showed how Liccardo is desperate to use all tools available to win this race. Especially, since he couldn’t get support of the majority of voters in the March Primary.

What other tricks Jonathan Padilla has up his sleeve coming November to make sure Liccardo gets elected? And does he really think that all this elaborate legal maneuvering and making misleading sensationalized statements to the media is going to make voters dislike Sam Liccardo less?

All that was missing was replay from the 2000 farce when the Dems tried to take what they lost, the White House, complete with broadcast phone call performance and “a free and fair count.”

Didn’t Mr. Liccardo realize that the likely dupes already have voted and later will vote again for him, or if not, would favor Low, anyway?

So that when a person wins with only 34% of the vote, people can complain that their voice wasn’t heard? We have an accurate count that solved that, now people can study the TWO candidates and really decide which they feel is better.

Especially if they do it without even being asked!!!

Every vote counts, ok, but this is just a Primary. Nobody won anything even after the recount.

That is the whole point of a runoff, to choose the best from the top candidates.

The only difference is that now there will be 2 candidates instead of 3 in November.
