“UPDATE 9:00 ET: According to OneKalamazoo field director, Trystan Reese, unofficial results are that the Ordinance passed 65-35. Hold on while this is confirmed with state elections officials”

The 9:08 update was official counts from the official County election results report at that point. The 9:00 update was just based on OneKalamazoo’s Trystan Reese’s tweet about Victory. That’s why I noted I was waiting for confirmation.

OneKalamazoo was getting unofficial election results directly from the Clerk’s office, from what I am told. They were able to call it before it was official because they knew what would be reported next. We, unfortunately, had no such luxury–I was on the phone, chat and on half a dozen websites, but nothing beats being in the room! I tried to cover the best I could, and didn’t want to be premature because I knew there were several other folks following my updates!

Thanks again for helping spread the word about our iQreport project! iQreport sure does love 365gay! And I’ve been a regular reader for more than five years now (that’s right, way back when the email to contact y’all was @rogers.ca!)

Not yet. ENDA hearings are happening this month. We won hate crimes. Anti-discrimination is still to come…
