Democrats fear a “lockout” — or scenario where the vote splits among multiple Dem candidates, leading to none of them making the November runoff — in three House of Representative districts long-held by Republicans, but that both parties see as vulnerable. In each case, several well-funded but less-well-known Democrats are running against more prominent Republicans.
Scott Jones’ bid for a third term as Sacramento sheriff appears strong based on early election results. The incumbent had 54 percent of the vote with about 100,000 votes counted. But tens-of-thousands of ballots remain to be counted.
In Sutter County, three candidates — Brandon Barnes, Dennis Hauck and Jeff Pierce — are vying for the sheriff’s seat and have split the vote fairly evenly. Pierce is third.
The polls have closed in California's 2018 primary, and while some mail-in ballots are still being counted, a number of local races have been all but decided and the field has been narrowed in races for statewide office. Californians have also approved four of the five measures on the June ballot.
In Sacramento, Anne Marie Schubert and Noah Phillips are running for district attorney. Schubert is vying for a second term and has been the target of protests following the Stephon Clark shooting, with demonstrators demanding she prosecute the officers who shot the unarmed black man.
It looks like Democrats and Republicans will both avoid a lockout in the race to replace long-time GOP Congressman Darrell Issa — or, at least, that’s what the early vote-by-mail returns suggest.
Lines this evening snaked their way around the halls of City Hall’s lower levels in ways that could confuse a person into thinking he or she were in Purgatory.
We could all guess that Chinatown would lean a bit more conservative than places like our very own Mission District — but not this conservative.
About a dozen Prop. C supporters gathered at Salesforce tower in a last minute phone bank effort to get San Francisco residents to go out and vote. Tables were set for them at an office where they sat down and used their cell phones to call voters. “Make sure to vote before 8 p.m.” was echoed by multiple callers in their glass box conference room.
Voting was steady throughout the day at polling station in the Mission, equaling that of presidential elections, according to poll workers and bringing in more voters than in past midterm elections.
The District 6 campaigns might be at each other’s throats, but they do agree on one thing: Whatever happens in the Tenderloin, SoMa, and Mission Bay affects the Mission District.
