ELECTION RESULTS BY CITY/ UNINCORPORATED AREAS IN ANTELOPE VALLEY
Editor’s Note: Some commenters have referenced an excellent article in Monday’s edition of the Antelope Valley Press, which highlighted the election results by city and unincorporated areas in the Antelope Valley. Others, who did not get a chance to read the AVP article, have contacted us and asked if we were able to provide a similar election breakdown.
We did not plan to cover this story, but we hate to leave our readers hanging. Below is a breakdown of election results for each city and unincorporated area available (listed by population) for the Antelope Valley, as reported by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s Office. These results do not include the provisional ballots . Enjoy!
As always, ‘Readers Speak Out!’ is open to all other issues affecting Antelope Valley residents. No topic is off limits.

Remember how Romney whined recently about the ‘gifts’ that President Obama promised his base. Here is an anonymous comment I found that clearly exposes the lie is that Mitt Romney.
“Romney didn’t lose because of the low income bracket. This bracket always votes for Democrats…this is nothing new. Take a look at the previous exit polls and you’ll see that this is the norm. In fact, the percentage decreased this election.
The Republicans have lost the popular vote in 5 out of the last 6 elections because they have alienated so many groups of people…Women, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Singles, Youth, etc.
Just think about for a second. Bush almost won half of the Hispanic vote. They were voting for Bush regardless of their financial situation. Even though Democrats were offering so called gifts back then, they still voted for Bush in huge numbers. However, since that time, Republicans have alienated them and demonized Hispanics with standard and irregular fear-mongering tactics over the last 6 years. Their income hasn’t changed one bit but their attitude towards the Republican Party has drastically changed because of the alienating that has taken place during this time. In 8 years, the Hispanic vote for Democrats went from 53% all the way to 71%.
As with Asians, who have the highest median income of any race, have had a change of heart as well. Again, this has nothing to do with their financial situation. After these last 6 years of fear-mongering of Chinese, immigrants, etc, their attitude towards the Republican Party has drastically changed. In 8 years, the Asian vote went from 56% all the way to 73%.”
Yes, right wingers, Asians are hard-working Americans who go about it quietly and not like you cons who brag about your patriotism and hard work while you sign succession petitions and whine about your taxes. Asians pay lots of taxes and, yet, they mostly voted for President Obama.
I realize that the analysis in the quotes above may be too complex if you are a republican, so I suggest you get a smart person to explain it to you. Any liberal will do.
What else ya got to whine about now?
William says
When is Donald Trump gonna send his ‘crack’ investigators to Benghazi like he did to Hawaii to dig up the real stuff?

Frank Rizzo says
Are you people still seriously talking about the election? FYI there is nothing you can do to change things.
William says
Tell that to Mitt Romney who was still whining the other day about why he lost. Poor thing.
Tell that to the republicans who are trying to make the Benghazi tragedy into another Watergate. They aren’t happy about the election results kinda like 2 year olds, and Forewared, having temper-tantrums.
Tell that to Fox News which helped lose the election for Romney/Ryan by telling lies, misinformation and stuff they just make up and are still doing that in an effort to bring down this President.
We have to be vigilant because the tea party republicans are like roaches.
Milos says
Yes…and roaches are survivors.
Frank Rizzo says
William, this president sends people out to lie and you believe it, thats funny. Are you seriously that brainwashed by the democrap party? Wake up Brother! Free your mind!
William says
No comment.
William says
But, you are still ‘roaches’ and not the good kind of ‘roaches’.
Quigley says
Exactly Rizzo….how bout we talk about the DMV registration fee….TRIPLE??? As I have previously posted, Cali will NEVER have enough $ and we will be sucked dry! So, once again, it will be time to pay up suckers!
AV Town Crier says
Quigley, yo are correct. With Prop 30 approved, a member of the democrap party (whose name eludes me a this moment) came out and said that now that they had a super majority, its time to raise taxes. He’s the one that is behind raising auto fees.
More and more people will leave the state. How does this make sense?
Yet, they were elected. I look at Nancy Pelosi and just wonder how people can be so stupid as to keep putting her in office as well as giving the deocraps a super majority.
There must be something in the water.
Melanie says
Sen Ted Leiu, D-Torrance
Forward says
If Californians had allowed DMV rates to go up back when Davis was in office, and elected the Republicans darling Arnold Swartzenegger who trashed our economy by not paying for anything – gee, we wouldn’t be in this mess, would we? Either we pay for it back then – or now. No $$ coming in doesn’t pay the bills.
For those who want to leave, please do. They’ll find it isn’t any cheaper anywhere else, unless they want to live on welfare in Alabama, where there’s no representation, but lots of free tax money from the blue states.
William says
Forward. I’ve thought the same thing about the DMV rate increases. We would have been paying gradually all along instead of the mess we have now.
Plus, it probably would have encouraged more car pooling and mass transit use as the cost of driving a car more reflected it true costs on the state.
Has the GOP and its base ever not been short-sighted?
Xavier says
Personally I like paying $180 instead of $400. Is the word “cut” in the liberal vocabulary?
Forward says
“Has the GOP and its base ever not been short-sighted?”
They still don’t get it – which is fine I guess, but not so good for them if they ever want to win an election again.
They’re totally oblivious to the fact that the majority of Americans have been taking a ‘CUT’ for years in income and opportunity, considering 1% of the population owns 60% of the wealth right now – primarily by raking in all the profits with unfair tax policies. The trickle never happened – was quite the opposite, matter of fact.
The logic behind the reasons why they cannot afford increases at this time is incomprehensive to some – fortunately they’re in the minority.
Otto says
You’re right about the cut in income and opportunity….especially during the last four years. Keep taxing the rich and see how many jobs it produces. Talk about short sighted.
Doc Rivers says
Our local Republican leadership is more focused on their ego’s and helping their buddies get rich off of local contracts in the City Of Lancaster. Ron Smith lost in his own city speaks volumes about the Republican Party future in the A V.

Oh, BTW President Obama won and you’re a [removed].

Oh, good. Foreskinned disappeared for a while.

Has anyone seen “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”?

I’m enjoying the new series: Really Bored Housewives: Groupies 4 Generals show. It seems to be on every channel, but painfully edited.
William says
Forewarned, whatcha gonna do when the GOP kicks out the nuts like you in the coming years?
They turned on Romney.
They turned on Mourdock and Akin.
Barbara Bush told republicans to get over it, the election’s over.
And, my favorite, Republican Governor of Louisiana Bobby Jindal said “We have to quit being the party of stupid”. He was talking to you.
Pandering to people like you is a losing proposition for the secessionists, I mean, republicans. So, they are gonna throw you under the bus and run over your ass.
And you will keep bitching forever.
Forewarned says
Typical rhetoric from the lib_tards is Republicans are the party of racist. Let me confuse you tards with FACTS.
The key to Øbama’s victory was winning 93% of the African-American vote. NINTY-THREE PERCENT!!!
Mitt Romney got 59% of the white vote.
So who’s the REAL racist party?! (For you tards out there this was a rhetorical question)
William says
You. You are. You are the big, fat racist everywhere you go.
And, you come here to show us you are.
Now, git back in your trailer.
Tyrus says
@Forewarned For the last 43 Presidents 100% of whites voted for white men. Does that make them raciest? Your logic is flawed, just like you. The rest of your Republican brothers and sisters cringe every time to post a comment. You’re an embarrassment to Republicans who try to distance themselves from people like you.
Theodore says
So I guess what your saying is 93% of all African Americans are smarter than you? (rhetorical question) Nice name calling by the way Forewarned. Really makes you look smart and advances your argument!
Forewarned says
No more Twinkies.
No more Ho-Hos.

William says
Are you gonna whine for 4 more years? Good.
It makes you a lovely lady.
Duhabins says
No matter the result, Obama had already clenched re-election and currently has 332 electoral votes to Romney’s 206.
The Florida Secretary of State’s workplace aforementioned that with nearly 100% of the vote counted, Obama diode Republican contender Mitt Romney fifty p.c to forty nine.1 percent, a distinction of regarding seventy four,000 votes. That was over the half-percent margin wherever a pc recount would are mechanically ordered unless Romney had waived it.
There is a November. sixteen point in time for overseas and military ballots, however underneath Florida law, recounts area unit supported Saturday’s results. solely a few of overseas and military ballots area unit believed to stay outstanding.
Thanks

Otto says
Thanks for that clear, concise assessment.

You forgot the (sarcasm alert) with your comment.
Otto says
I was hoping that a few here would be able to detect the sarcasm without being prompted.
William says
You never know around here. I bet the person you replied to was happy to read your comment approving his word salad with koolaid dressing.
Keep up the good work.

Well, at least I may have made somebody feel good about their ramblings.
Forward says
That’s “Floriduh”
Forewarned says
Good morning boys and girls. Our word of the day is: Sequestration.
What is it and what effect will it have on the economy?
Well a report from the House Appropriations Committee details the consequences of sequestration:
9.1% unemployment rate.
1.4 million jobs lost.
900,000 participants dropped from the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Supplemental Nutrition Program.
An end to child care for 80,000 low-income children.
200,000 fewer participants in Section 8 housing, resulting in evictions.
100,000 fewer people served by Homeless Assistance Grants, putting them on the streets.
As many as 1,000,000 fewer patients served in community health centers.
As many as 45,000 fewer breast and cervical cancer screenings for low-income women.
100,000 fewer children nationwide enrolled in Head Start.
20,000 fewer Head Start employees.
12,000 fewer special education teachers and aides because of a reduction in special-ed grants. This would affect more than 500,000 students with special needs.
16,000 fewer teachers and aides nationwide because of a reduction in Title I grants.
4,300 fewer at-risk youth in the Job Corps education and skills training program.
As you can see…a lot of it will impact the low income people, aka Øbama voters. You reap what you sow. Welcome to Øbama’s Amerika!
William says
You’re not any smarter than you were the other day.
‘Amerika’??? You gave yourself away……………………..again.
William says
Now, the nuts who didn’t like President Obama have signed petitions to secede from the union.
“Most of the red states — now the hypothetical “New Confederacy” — had heretofore taken more federal aid than they paid back in federal taxes. South Carolina, for example, takes $1.35 in federal money for every dollar it pays in federal taxes. Louisiana takes $1.78 for every dollar it pays into the system. Talk about moochers and freeloaders. By the way, this money is redistributed from other states, including the blue states with their abortion-on-demand and evil healthcare mandate. After secession, that gravy train would cease to exist. Farmers, corporations, small businesses, universities and law enforcement would crumble without federal aid — grants, contracts, matching funds, tax breaks, etc.”
Quite a few people here are still on the wrong side of history and probably everything else.
Matt K. says
Blue New York, Nevada and California are on the secession list too!
William says
I’m sure many in the AV signed it.
William says
I’m resting.
Palmdale_Steve says
Didn’t the High Democratic Club implode a while back when the Maxine Waters designated hitter Parker staged a coup in the club? I’d be guessing on the dynamics of Moffit v the establishment Democrats up here in the AV, but my guess is probably not far off.
It’s always entering to watch the Inglewatts/South Central crowd fight the growing Hispanic power block in the CA Democratic ranks.
William says
Drunk again? “It’s always entering to watch the …….?”
Frank Rizzo says
Why are there so many weirdos comments here?

Been nice sparring with ya Willie but I’ve got to go to work so you and other moochers like you can sit on your behind and post flibbertigibbet.
William says
Look, Forewarned, you never answered if you were previously Tina Marie, super smart honor roll student.
I’m assuming you are until I hear otherwise.
Now, go to work and give them the same sloppy work product that you produce here and collect a paycheck. I doubt if you do excellent work at whatever you do.
Like I said before, you haven’t written one (1) intelligent comment on this site. I doubt if you can.
Tina Marie says
Williams getting all pissy now. His minutes must have run out on his “free” Obama cellphone. Now he can’t call Letlow or Theodore anymore until his next EBT refill on December 1st.
Forward says
Maxine won in her district, and AV Dem’s don’t need no stinkin’ club to know who to vote for. They don’t even need a newspaper that runs articles in their favor! Amazing.
Tina Marie says
Maxine is toast next election. She is going to go the way of Laura Richardson! watch!
William says
Hi, Tina Marie. Where ya been? Are you also ‘Forewarned’? You look alike, you talk alike. Why you’re cousins, identical cousins.
Hey, have you resolved the ‘voter suppression’ issue in your little pea brain. Remember that as you tried to convince us that you were some kind of ‘honor roll’ student.
Did you see the long lines in Florida on election day as a result of Gov. Rick Scott’s attempt to suppress the votes?
Or are you as clueless as you seem to be?
Now, it’s your turn to get all pissy, missy.
Come back soon, I is waitin’ fer ya.
Tina Marie says
go to hell beeyotch!
William says
Tina Marie. You keep demonstrating how stupid you are. Keep it up, kid. I’m enjoying your descent into madness. Ha Ha.
Theodore says
’go to hell beeyotch!’ WOW what kind of argument is that? I thought you said you were one of the smart ones!

The Democratic party is now a force to contend with in the Antelope Valley. The sleeping lion is waking up. The statistics are revealing.
Palmdale_Steve says
Well a sleeping lion or really bad candidates from the Republican side like Deputy Dog Smith and a strong wave for Obama.
Smith will probably be challenged in the next R. Primary.
NIMBY says
I’m not totally convinced that a sleeping giant is in force here. Unless the Democrats have a charismatic minority running for President in 2016 I don’t think we’ll see these types of numbers again. The Districts 21, 23, & 25 not just covers the A.V. but other areas of California that mostly vote Republican.
Forward says
Thanks for posting the election stats. Looks like McKeon and Smith both lost in Lancaster & Palmdale, but raked in the votes in surrounding areas such as QH/Leona Valley, and Aqua Dulce/Acton.
RE: National stats:
“…The maps we have made show that the election was not just about red and blue states. What’s actually going on is that the division between red and blue America is mostly about a split among richer voters.”
http://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/12/red-versus-blue-in-a-new-light/?nl=opinion&emc=edit_ty_20121113
With the economic crash of ’08, both Lancaster & Palmdale trended towards more rentals than homeowners, whereas the surrounding areas have remained the same. A median-income study of both cities would be helpful, as it would most likely parallel national stats from the website above.
Adam Chant says
Forward,
Your request for a median-income study comes in the from of a status update by the Antelope Valley Board of Trade and the Greater Antelope Valley Economic Alliance. The 2013 Economic Roundtable Report will probably be published for the 2013 AVBOT Business Outlook Conference.
The 2012 report can be viewed at http://www.aveconomy.org
It’s amazing how many people don’t know about this information and how important the AVBOT is, but still seem to try to own and operate a business in this community.

Letlow says
Wow… Star Moffat, Lee Rogers and Steve Fox won Palmdale!!! GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!
M. Jacobson says
Star Moffat only won because a bunch of “low information” voters saw “Democrat” next to her name and checked it. I am a Democrat and I did not vote for her and I can only hope that she never has the gall to run again because she is a complete embarrassment to the Democratic Party!
Letlow says
You said: “Star Moffat only won because a bunch of low information voters saw Democrat next to her name and checked it…”
And you know this because?????
Just because YOU did not vote for Star, you are arrogant and ignorant enough to ASSume that people who did vote for Star are “low information” voters?
Your gall is the one that is unmitigated!!!
Congratulations to Star Moffatt on the hard work that won her the MAJORITY of votes in Palmdale, despite what ONE LONE voter thinks!
T Resendez says
“one lone voter”?????
who are you kidding buddy?
Star should have had the same amount of votes against Knight as Steve Fox did against Ron Smith! She didnt because she and her husband managed to piss off lots of Democrats in the AV and Santa Clarita areas with their disrespectful attitudes.
[Removed] says
ah c’mom Letlow….those voters thought they were voting for “best 70’s beat to $hit motorhome wrapped in campaign crap”, not for Starr Moffat herself!
Gladys says
I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE ANTELOPE VALLEY TIMES HAS NOT REMOVED YOUR RACIST SCREEN NAME. THEY DID A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND YOU REARRANGED THE INSULT AND CAME BACK STRONG.

Oh Gladys, what are you whining about now? What name are you referring to?? I don’t see any of the usual words that piss you folks off, so clue us in, what word is bugging you so much this time?

Thank you AV Times for removing the offensive screen name. NachoMama, what folks are you talking about when you say “you folks”?
Palmdale_Steve says
Is this more of the Democratic party infighting over who’s aligned with the Maxine Waters political machine or the Tony Villar Democrat machines?
Matt K. says
My money’s on the “Tony Villaragosa machine”. It’s a lot more diverse, inclusive, realistic and forward-thinking (and less paranoid) than the “Maxine Waters machine”!
