Aside from the over 6,000 ballots not being printed correctly and several electronic voting machines not working (again), the primary election was uneventful.
In Supervisor District 4, Republican Hank Weston received over 60% of the vote in a rout of his Democrat challenger.
In Supervisor District 3, Republican Dan Miller knocked off a Democrat incumbent by over seven points.
In what turned out to be the most disgusting and dishonest local campaign in recent years, Cliff Newell (who was endorsed by the Nevada County Republican Party) disposed of his dishonest challenger by double digits.
In the Superintendent of Schools race and only starting his campaign in March, Paul Haas (who was also endorsed by the Nevada County Republican Party) made an incredible showing against the incumbent.
In the race for Superior Court Judge, Republican endorsed candidates garnered over 50% of the vote in the crowded five-person race. Anna Ferguson (the Republican endorsed candidate) cruised through to November.
In the assembly race, Republican Brian Dahle received nearly 70% of the vote.
In the congressional races, both Doug LaMalfa and Tom McClintock crusied to victory with well over 50% of the vote in the crowded fields.
Considering the wide margins of the victors, and absent some huge mistake by the elections official or some type of voter fraud, the likelihood that these preliminary results will change after further counting is slim to none.
Kudos to the Nevada County Republican Party for supporting our local candidates and getting out the vote. I have to say today is a good day.

Dahle Announces Bid for First Assembly Seat
"One of Lassen County’s own has thrown his hat into the race for the state assembly.
"Lassen County District 4 Supervisor Brian Dahle announced at Tuesday’s board of supervisors’ meeting he would not seek another term on the board of supervisors and had decided to for the California First Assembly District seat instead.
"'I could not stand idly by and let Sacramento continue down the path of self-destruction,' said Dahle."
"According to a release from Dahle’s campaign, he promises to sponsor a balanced budget amendment, reduce the size of state government and remove state regulations that stifle economic freedom."
"'The state of California has placed shackles that have restrained you and your family’s ability to prosper. I want to change that and give hope and prosperity to all Californians,' Dahle said."
The rest of the article is here.
The word on the street is that widespread support is already coalescing around Dahle - both districtwide and locally. Dahle is the most popular and the most funded potential candidate. His popularity and support are definitely keeping others from getting into the race.
