Republicans appear to have regained the majority in the Guam
Legislature, according to partial General Election results released
yesterday evening by the Guam Election Commission.
As of midnight, the commission had released the electronic voting
results from 21 of the 53 precincts and paper ballot results from
seven precincts.
Voters also appear to have rejected Proposal A, which would legalize
casino gaming on Guam, by an overwhelming majority. More than 60
percent of voters voted against Prop A, according to early results.
Citizens for Economic Diversity, which sponsored the casino
initiative, last week said it plans to challenge the election results
in court regardless of the outcome, because of alleged mistakes made
by the Guam Election Commission in the initiative process.
Jay Arriola, a spokesman for Communities Opposing Prop A, said the
early results are consistent with what his group has seen in the
community.
"We're very, very pleased," Arriola said. "This has consistently been
the number when Guam has rejected gambling in the past, and we hope
it'll soundly reject it again. Certainly, any win is a good win; 60-40
is a resounding win that we think should send a strong message -- 'No,
not then, not now.'"
If the remaining election results are consistent, Republicans will
take a 9-6 majority in the Legislature, with Republicans Ray Tenorio
and Eddie Calvo as the top vote-getters.
Incumbent Democratic Sens. John Quinata, Randy Cunliffe and Toni
Sanford were well out of the top 15 and likely will not be re-elected.
Democratic senators Lou Leon Guerrero, Rory Respicio, Tina MuŅa-Barnes
and Speaker Ben Pangelinan were competing for the bottom few seats in
the next Legislature, according to early results.
Judges Alberto Lamorena and Steven Unpingco appear to have at least
seven more years on the bench, with approval ratings at or above 80
percent.
Guam voters appear to favor George Bush for another term, with more
than 60 percent of the vote.
