Alameda County: Although Alameda County voted in favor of RM3, voters in just six of the county's fourteen cities supported RM3. Voters in seven Alameda County cities opposed RM3. The six cities supporting RM3 are all clustered in the northern portion of the county: Albany, Berkeley, Emeryville, Oakland, Piedmont and Alameda. RM3 lost in all five southern Alameda County cities: San Leandro, Hayward, Union City, Newark and Fremont. RM3 also lost in all three eastern Alameda County cities (Livermore/Amador Valley): Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore. A majority of the county's five supervisorial districts voted no on RM3.
Contra Costa County: RM3 lost resoundingly in Contra Costa County. It lost in all four of the county's subregions: West County, Central County, San Ramon Valley and East County. Voters rejected RM3 in fourteen of the county's nineteen cities, including Richmond, San Pablo, Pinole, Hercules, Martinez, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Clayton, Danville, San Ramon, Pittsburg, Antioch, Oakley and Brentwood. Just five Contra Costa County cities supported RM3: El Cerrito, Orinda, Moraga, Lafayette and Walnut Creek.
Solano County: Voters throughout Solano County thoroughly and wholeheartedly rejected RM3. Countywide, RM3 won just 30 percent Yes, with a resounding 70 percent voting No. RM3 lost in every city and in every supervisorial district. RM3 won less than one-third of the vote in every jurisdiction. In Vallejo, RM3's strongest city, it won just 32.5 percent Yes votes. Yet, as discussed before, many Solano County politicians disavowed their voters' wishes and supported the bridge toll increase.
