Oh, Here We Go Again: Those Damn Mail-in Ballots Have Severely Cut Into GOP Vote Totals in CA
California elections are still being counted because that’s the
system they have there. It might take a few weeks, months, or even a
decade before the official results are announced. Not really, but the
slow pace at which ballots are tallied in the Golden State is beyond
absurd; even liberal reporters are starting to raise eyebrows — it
shouldn’t be this way.
Dmitri gave an overview of where things stand right now.
In
the governor's race, former television host and policy commentator
Steve Hilton spent much of the campaign leading in public polling, while
in Los Angeles, Spencer Pratt has emerged as a surprisingly viable
contender after running a high-profile mayoral campaign that has
attracted widespread media attention. As results continue to come in,
both races are being closely watched for signs of whether California is
about to have a major shift to the right in California.
As votes continue to be counted on Wednesday morning, here is where the candidates stand in their respective races.
As
of Wednesday morning, with roughly 60 percent of the vote counted in
California's gubernatorial primary, Republican Steve Hilton has
maintained a lead over the Democratic field. Hilton has received about
28 percent of the vote, while former Health and Human Services Secretary
Xavier Becerra trails at roughly 25 percent. Progressive billionaire
Tom Steyer is currently in third place with around 20 percent.
Katie
Porter has been defeated; she won’t be able to come back from her
current position in the vote totals, no matter what. But one thing I
forgot to mention, and it could hurt Republicans: those good
old-fashioned mail-in ballot dumps, which have drastically reduced
Republican vote totals across the board.
We could be witnessing another political screw job, folks.

The late mail in some areas continues to show Steyer (3rd) is unlikely
to lock Hilton out, as these are not the margin he wants, while Becerra
has a much smaller gap to close (both would advance anyway)https://t.co/8eHrMNMt1p
