Election Night Open Thread: Measure J - 49ers New Stadium

As we've repeatedly told you, today is election day, which means the 49ers chance at a new stadium will take a big step forward, or yet another hit. Measure J is on the ballot in Santa Clara, and results will start posting around 8pm HERE. I thought it was worthwhile to have an open thread for discussion during this important time. Of course, there's even less to watch than our epic David Carr open thread, but I'm sure everybody will be able to amuse themselves.
And if you're down in Santa Clara, city officials and Jed York, among others, will be attending an election night event at American Legion Post 419 (958 E Homestead Road). York is expected to address the media later tonight after the ballots are counted.
For those curious about more of the details in Measure J, check out this link provided by smileyman.

Right now... 92% "accurate" predictions have it at..
45% YES, 55% NO http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/elections/2010/
Frustrated fireworks inside my head..
But I thought only 200,000 voters were registered
so how can it be 163 to 200k?
I don’t think that at all… and of course this is all speculation on your behalf

there aren't 400k people in SC the CITY?

i only wish that
we come to some kind of stadium agreement with S.F. in Hunters Point if this doesnt work in our favor. I just really dont want the team to leave Nor Cal.
A man's life is described either by his actions, words, or even the people who he loves and loves him.
I really want..
…the 49ers to play in the Stanford stadium for a couple years and tear down Candlestick, rebuild in its place.
Frustrated fireworks inside my head..
a couple of years??
the NFL said the 49ers would have to construct a bypass to build anywhere near there
I don’t think that at all… and of course this is all speculation on your behalf
by Drew K on Apr 14, 2010 2:05 PM PDT
You know what I mean...
… and where did the NFL ever comment about a stadium built in the current place? I’m not an expert on this kind of stuff, it’s just one fan’s wishes. I’d like a stadium in the current spot.. it’s not my job to figure out how it gets done.
Frustrated fireworks inside my head..
I know this is just lame
I can’t believe 100k techies are deciding the fate of one of the greatest sports teams in history

by Drew K on Apr 14, 2010 2:05 PM PDT
actually!!
that wouldnt be a bad idea…play at stanford for a while, tear down the old stadium…construct other ways to get to Candle Stick Park. and build a B.A stadium for the ages there…i like it! build it like the stadium in South Africa is build. Its an open stadium, BUT it has some type of glass in the open area on top to keep the noise inside.
something like that would be bad @$$!!
A man's life is described either by his actions, words, or even the people who he loves and loves him.
I totally agree with this.
In fact, I think I mentioned it in another thread at one point.
I can't wait for Mango's sig to say "0 days to go".
I disagree
The new stanford stadium only seats 50,000. Play at Cal!!!! (Go Bears!!)
For California, for California,

Oh yeah sure
and then we can lose the whole team in an earthquake in that ugly, piece of junk stadium that’s about ready to colapse at any moment! There is absolutely no way the niners would ever play in the current kal stadium especially with the condition of the facilities in that scrap pile of a stadium. lol Delusional kal fans.
how is NBC getting the info 1 hour before the govn't even has it posted?

Frustrated fireworks inside my head..
My idea
even though it wont happen, instead of blue turf/glass like Boise State why not (painted) red grass with gold hash marks and such?
would that make voters in ah?
just an idea.. because Boise State field is different which = a nice change
would the players and fans wear sunglasses?
If so, would they give them out?

I'm just not sure how much worse what Vick did than what "Ben" did. Glad he's not a Niner.

Everything is being counted right now.
Mail-in ballots were the easiest to get through, and the first to be reported, as Lam just noted on Twitter.

You'd figure
At least a few precincts would have reported in or something.
They're all counting and reporting...
…but Measure J isn’t the biggest thing for them to worry about.

Barrows says it's early.
Maiocco says it looks good. The leading by 61% is for 10 of 58 precincts, and it’s all by mail-in vote, which accounts for around 65%+ of the total vote.

So the other 48 precints aren't as big as the first 10?

indeed.
I didn’t watch the game, but it was nice to see a young stud come in and blow ‘em away—even to the point that announcers weren’t ‘analyzing’ pitch counts and ‘worrying about protecting him’ and etc.—all the garbage that comes with a young pitcher. I’m sure that’ll come, but it was nice to just have his pitching be the story.
I'm just not sure how much worse what Vick did than what "Ben" did. Glad he's not a Niner.
I hope he continues to do well
Strasburg’s success could do wonders for the game of baseball.

Kid was unreal.
I understand that today’s MLB watches arms closely, but a small part of me was hoping they’d trot him out for the 8th to see if he could strike out the side. 6 more Ks to 20, 2 more to set the record for most Ks in a debut…..I kinda was hoping, but regardless…..he deserves every bit of hype. Fantastic game.

Ya, this election is a bit weird. Sure taking their time to get the results reported. Maybe they thought no one was interested so made no amends to rush.
The people counting the votes are Raider fans.
Just saying. :-)
Barrows says 13,000+ have been counted, 20,000 were expected to vote.

Maiocco's twitter take:
“Measure J campaign manager Brandon Smith said of first returns, “Anything over 60 percent is a touchdown.” Stadium measure drew 61.29%."
Here’s hoping the “No’s” don’t have a fourth quarter comeback.

12 of 53 reporting and the percentage pretty much remains unchanged. :-)
So is it gonna pass???
Asks Valley resident…
Another year, another chance to hope for the team !!
18 of 58 and the no's are catching up.
60.97% – 39.03% yes
It's gonna pass. No doubt in my mind.
I really want to celebrate.

That's odd.
The no’s gained percentage, but lost vote margin. Hmmm.
It's still far from over, but extrapolation tells us a big win for Measure J.
Frustrated fireworks inside my head..
Looks right there.
20 now reported and the total votes nowhere near the amount of the first 10 with the percentage margin maintaining. :-)

That link to the Stadium vote results is really weird.
The actual vote totals have hardly changed while the number of reported precincts has doubled. Also looking at Prop 16 the link says the vote favors No by 59% with half precincts reporting but my news station is telling me the race is a dead heat.
most of the early votes are from absentees, which is how most people decided to vote
