RESULTS: LA Times | CA Secretary of State | LA County
11:50: Calitics says Judy Chu has declared victory. 86% reporting: Chu still at 33%, Cedillo 24%, and Pleitez 14%. Betty Chu leads the GOP field, with 10%. Bring on Chu vs. Chu, in July!
11:30: With 76% reporting, it’s now Chu with 33%, Cedillo 24%, Pleitez 14%.
10:55: This isn’t over yet. With 46% reporting, Chu is at 35% and Cedillo is at 23%. Pleitez’s share is increasing too, up to 12%.
10:38: Picking up speed now; with 32% reporting, Chu leads 38% to 21%.
10:15: Ganja break at LA County is over: now we’re up to 16% reporting, with a little narrowing but still a big Chu edge, 40% to 19%.
9:30: Still nothing more to tell you about CA-32, but there’s a barnburner going on in the runoff for the Los Angeles City Attorney. Carmen Trutanich leads Jack Weiss 52-48, with 12% reporting.
8:45: We’re finally seeing some action. With 10% reporting, Judy Chu is at 42%, with Cedillo far behind with 17%. Betty Chu is in third at 13% (consolidating most of what little Republican vote exists in this district), and Pleitez is next at 8%.
8:18: We’ve still got bupkus from CA-32, but there are over 1 million votes tabulated statewide on the six ballot measures. Props 1A through 1E are all failing, mostly by greater than 40-60 margins, but Prop 1F (no pay raises for legislators if there’s a deficit) is passing with 77%.
7:52 Pacific: We’re going to be doing a half-assed liveblog of CA-32 tonight. Polls close shortly, at 8 p.m. Check back periodically for updates!
I think he was my favorite out of the 3, but between Chu or Cedillo I’d much rather see Chu win.
Philadelphia looks to have almost just elected its first black DA, a job previously held by Arlen Specter and Ed Rendell.
This is just the primary, but the general is really just a formality.
In any case, Seth Williams got my vote.
Judy Chu is up huge on Cedillo 41-17, though who knows what part of the district these votes are coming from.
according to L.A. County. Only about 10% of precincts in.
Is that the ganja down at the L.A. Board of Elections must be some primo shit.
Weiss better pull it out. We don’t need a guy who calls himself an “environmental lawyer” who’s DEFENDED the polluters in environmental cases.
will be the next member of Congress from California.
