Every Napa County vote in the Feb. 5 presidential primary ballot has now been tallied, and the results differ little from the numbers released back on election day.

Napa County Registrar of Voters John Tuteur has certified the election results.

The final numbers:

• In the Democratic Party primary, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., won 50 percent of the vote. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., who since Super Tuesday has taken the lead for the nomination, won 42 percent of the vote. When the county elections office closed on Super Tuesday, with about 14,000 ballots yet to count, Clinton had 51 percent of the vote.

• In the Republican Party primary, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., received 50 percent of the vote, though the election night tally was 49 percent. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who dropped out of the race shortly after Super Tuesday, earned 27 percent of the vote, while former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee won 9 percent.

• As the vote-counting wore on, the Napa Valley College proposal for a $178 million bond fared a little better, but never well enough. Measure L got support from 52 percent of the voters, but needed 55 percent. The measure had support of 51 percent of voters when the Elections Office shut down on election night.

• Measure K, the initiative to allow expansion of the business at Stanly Lane Marketplace, won with 57 percent of the vote.

In a prepared statement, Tuteur praised citizens for a good turnout.

“I am pleased that once again Napa County voters turned out in greater numbers than the statewide average, with 67 percent of registered voters casting ballots. Even more impressive was the turnout by vote-by-mail voters, where approximately 76 percent of voters cast ballots. Polling place voters turned out at a significantly lower rate with approximately 47 percent casting ballots.”

Tuteur said it required several days to count provisional ballots mail-in ballots that arrived shortly before election day, as well as reviewing ballots and duplicating those that could not be read by optical scanners.

In addition, the still-undecided outcome of the race between Obama and Clinton in California’s First Congressional District required a hand count of more than 1,000 Democratic ballots.

Tuteur said his office is already gearing up for the June 3 election.

“We are creating Voter Assistance Centers in Calistoga, Saint Helena, Yountville and American Canyon to assist vote by mail voters prior to Election Day,” Tuteur commented. “We had too many vote by mail voters turning up at our polling places, which led to problems for both voters and poll workers. Our target is to have our vote by mail voters completely comfortable with voting by mail prior to the Nov. 4, 2008, Presidential General Election, when turnout will be very high.”

A precinct-by-precinct statement of vote for the Democratic and Republican primaries and for Measures L and K are posted on the Napa County Web site at www.co.napa.ca.us.
