One of the reasons for that: San Francisco's citizens are by-in-large engaged in politics and decent at getting to the polls (or mailing in their ballots), relative to most cities. And although not all ballots were yet accounted for, Clemens said turnout in San Francisco was probably around 50 percent, which is good for an election without a big presidential or big gubernatorial race. Yes, Governor Newsom was up for reelection, but it wasn't a serious challenge, with Clemen's adding that "Trump wasn't running."
"Los Angeles is slightly bigger than San Francisco," said an ever-sarcastic Clemens (Los Angeles has close to five times the population). "But their current voter turnout is 425,000 votes. Boo Dodgers."
"This was one of the best elections for a mayor who isn’t on the ballot," said Clemens. "While people are pissed off about stuff, they aren’t pinning it on her."
