FOX SAYS BARBARA BOXER IS SAFE, AND JERRY BROWN WILL WIN THE GOVERNORSHIP.

UPDATE: Reader Sung Kim emails:

I wouldn’t put too much stock in the exit polls for California’s races. The polls just closed, and I beat the close by about 20 minutes, at which time I saw a flood of people coming in after work, trying to get their votes in. If you take it as a truism that Republicans are more likely to vote in the evening after work (not to suggest that Democrats don’t work, but… as a relative measure… .), expect a flood of late Republican votes getting tallied this evening. And yes, the Republicans are fired up; even here in San Francisco my Republican friends (yes, we are a small but determined conclave) went out and voted despite the fact that they normally skip elections.

Well, we’ll see. Stay tuned!
