...and there I go again with the wobbliness. Give me another day or so and I think I'll have recovered. Mostly.

Statement by No on Prop 8 Campaign on Election Status
Roughly 400,000 votes separate yes from no on Prop 8 – out of 10 million votes tallied.
Based on turnout estimates reported yesterday, we expect that there are more than 3 million and possibly as many as 4 million absentee and provisional ballots yet to be counted.
Given that fundamental rights are at stake, we must wait to hear from the Secretary of State tomorrow how many votes are yet to be counted as well as where they are from.
It is clearly a very close election and we monitored the results all evening and this morning.
As of this point, the election is too close to call.
Because Prop 8 involves the sensitive matter of individual rights, we believe it is important to wait until we receive further information about the outcome.
Geoff Kors, Kate Kendell
Executive Committee NO on Prop 8
The page hasn't been updated since then, but that is an awfully close margin. I'm still trying to find out if the negation is truly official or has just been 'called' but without actual official backup. After all, the only news reports I can find all list 'yes' as winning but with notes that this is not a 100% tally -- and 400,000 is -- in light of the remaining -- still awfully, awfully close.
