        <title>Thank you for your support! - Blogs from Stan - packerfan&apos;s Blog - Tehachapi News</title>

        <description>First, my thanks to all of you who turned out to vote today for the candidates and ballot initiatives of your choice.&amp;nbsp; And, personally, thank you for your support.

Many of you have contacted me to ask why the KGOV channel is not posting the outlying areas&#039; election results and why there are still only 1 of 4 precincts for the City of Tehachapi showing as being counted (as of 12:30 a.m.)?

I just spoke with Ann Barnett and she explained that the KGOV broadcast is being generated from their Web site and the Web site refreshes every 5 minutes.&amp;nbsp; When it refreshes it throws the page you are viewing&amp;nbsp;back to the top which, is the Governor&#039;s race.&amp;nbsp; The length of scroll time from the Governor&#039;s results&amp;nbsp;to the&amp;nbsp;Sheriff&#039;s results is about 5 minutes and, you guessed it...the city council races follow that, also the propositions.&amp;nbsp; So, unless you have access to&amp;nbsp;the Kern County Clerks&#039;&amp;nbsp;Web site from a computer, the results of the elections won&#039;t be showing on television.&amp;nbsp; Their web site address is 
http://elections.co.kern.ca.us/elections/results/Nov06/default.htm

Next, Ann assured me that all the precincts from Tehachapi have been received, but what is slowing up the counting process is the very heavy write-in voting for Henry.&amp;nbsp; I believe this means good news for Henry, because from what I&#039;ve heard Henry was being written in a lot.&amp;nbsp; Also, the one precinct you were seeing this evening was the absentee ballots that the county had already received by mail.&amp;nbsp; The count won&#039;t be &#039;unofficially&#039; completed until Wednesday morning.

Lastly, a&amp;nbsp;sincere word of thanks to the Tehachapi News, editor Carin Enovijas,&amp;nbsp;and the staff, &amp;nbsp;for allowing all of us to participate in their blog forum and for allowing me to campaign heavily on their blog forum.&amp;nbsp; While this practice is commonplace in larger cities, this is relatively new to the Tehachapi news and they should be applauded for their efforts&amp;nbsp;in delivering a platform which&amp;nbsp;allows the citizens of Tehachapi a forum for freedom of speech.

Thanks again for all of your support and encouragement throughout the campaign and now onward and upward from here.&amp;nbsp; Please keep those thoughts and questions coming.

Best regards,

Stan

                <description>&lt;p&gt;Congratulations Stan!&amp;nbsp; I hope you winning this sends the other city council members&amp;nbsp;and manager a message that we don&#039;t like what they have been doing and a lot needs to change. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any&amp;nbsp;updates on Henry yet?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <description>&lt;font face=&quot;Verdana&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Thank you countrygirl, I was in touch with Sandy Brockman in the Elections office today and they have several thousand absentee ballots that were turned in at the precincts and provisional ballots left to count.  Sandy said that we wouldn&#039;t know the results for about 7 days yet (hopefully, sooner).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Henry&#039;s people are following this too.  Will spread the word when we hear anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks so much for your support.  You&#039;ve been great,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
