Many county clerks were expected to update their totals Friday. Ninety percent of ballots cast are counted by 8 a.m. the day after the election, but the final 10 percent can take three to four weeks to tabulate because of lengthy administrative procedures to ensure that nobody voted twice, said Kim Alexander, president of the California Voter Foundation, a nonpar- homes cause outcry LOS ANGELES (AP) — California State University has spent $1 million in public and private funds over the past year renovating houses used by campus presidents, causing some to wonder why the system does not sell the homes in a time of fiscal austerity. The renovations at four of the 11 houses at different campuses has caused consternation at a time when state funding is plummeting, causing tuition hikes, layoffs and program cuts, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday (http://lat.ms/NjeO81 ).

''If you have to make a choice, don't remodel the kitchen and use that money for students until we figure something else out,'' said Kim Geron, vice president of the California Faculty Association. The association, the union representing faculty and other professional employees, estimated that the money spent on renovations could pay for 153 one-year scholarships or 183 extra classes. CSU spokesman Mike Uhlenkamp said the renovations are necessary because the homes are used by presidents to hold fundraising events. The renovations are being done as presidents are being hired to fill vacancies. ''We need the presidents to have the best array of tools possible to perform their jobs,'' he said.
