Preface

This Supplement to the Statement of Vote contains the official vote count results by districts and counties for the 23 presidential candidates, 15 United States Senate candidates, and 20 ballot measures that appeared on California’s March 7, 2000 presidential primary election ballot. The Supplement, produced pursuant to Elections Code section 15502, is presented in three volumes: Volumes 1 and 2 contain the vote results for the presidential candidates, including the “cross-over” vote; Volume 3 contains vote results for the United States Senate contest and the statewide ballot measures. The first report for each contest presents the statewide summary of votes cast, followed by the vote totals by political subdivision within each county, followed in turn by the results in each congressional, State Senate, State Assembly, and Board of Equalization district. The district results indicate the vote cast districtwide and within each county that comprises the district. Creating this report required an unprecedented effort on the part of my Elections Division staff. They worked hundreds of hours verifying that the data submitted by the county elections officials were accurate, working with them to resolve any discrepancies; keying the data into the Calvoter database; and proofing, re-proofing, and proofing yet again to ensure that the information presented here is as accurate as our new technology and human hands and eyes can make it. Melissa Warren, Evelyn Mendez, and their crew of dedicated student assistants have my greatest appreciation for their unsurpassed efforts to ensure that this report is of the highest quality possible.
