6:26 p.m.: Polls will close at 8 p.m., which is when we'll crown Ed Lee the next mayor of San Francisco we'll find out the results. Until then, your SFist editor will make himself a vat of french onion soup (why not?) and mainline contraband Pseudoephedrine (we're a tad under the weather) before heading out to a couple of election night parties (hint: one will involve a former mayor and MC Hammer). We'll update sporadically throughout the night with the results. more ›

Oh gee, folks. No one is voting today! Or so said the visibly upset poll station worker where we cast our ballot. (She was so sad, you guys!) Our SOMA polling station at lunchtime was as barren as a 95-year-old dowager. As empty as the Powerhouse after the lights turn on. As desolate as a Mission Bay neighborhood street after 6 o'clock. Hardly any of you are voting today. Have you voted? You should. more ›

Even though he runs without any serious opponent, Newsom's camp is still pulling their hair out over this election and the turnout. Newsom'07 Phone Bank sent us a release, with the following: more ›

. Boooo!). It's actually a pretty decent article about the future of the Chron online, the criminal lack of mentioning of Eve notwithstanding. Book section. Meredith Brody tries out Top Chef entrees around town. SFist Ced is outraged that she would review a TGI Friday's when there's no TGI Friday's in the City. Wasn't there a TGI Friday's in Fisherman's Wharf? What happened to that one? The (((folkYEAH!))) festival in Big Sur. Doc's Clock, everyone's second-choice hipster bar. And Dan Savage ate too much pot pumpkin cake. more ›

While doing our standard election-night browsing, we dropped by the Guardian to see if any late reports were filed online -- but the site was down! Details at this point are still very, very sketchy, but the initial report from Steven T. Jones suggests foul play:

Maybe there is something to this 6/6/06 numerological weirdness after all. The mood seems dark and sinister for an election day. And it was certainly some devilish characters who have shut our Web site down all day with a denial of service attack. We don't know which ones, but the likely suspect list should start with those affiliated with candidates that we didn't endorse in close races: Fiona Ma, Mike Nevin, Lillian Sing, Steve Westly, and the downtown players gunning for Chris Daly's propositions. I'm not accusing anyone of anything. I'm just saying it was someone, and probably someone who knows how influential Guardian endorsements have been in the past.
