I was just wondering why we didn't have a thread yet. I just posted the SoS link in two threads (Gov and Non-Gov statewide), but we might as well use this one.

NY Times way, way behind in their vote totals.

NY Times way, way behind in their vote totals.

They seem to have some counties that the SoS doesn't have and vice-versa.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

so far Newsom 35%, Cox 27%,  but only 7% of precincts in.

Villaraigosa leads in Imperial

Kevin de Leon is doing poorly right now in Imperial County. 12% reporting. Imperial: Feinstein 28.3%, de Leon 15.7%.

Yup

Sad day for De Leon if he can't even get Imperial. He still has a shot of making the second spot though.

I think KDL finishes second, but this doesn't bode well for his performance in the runoff.

I agree with both parts of that.

Why is he underperforming in Imperial?

He's at least doing better than his statewide average. It's not his best county though. Not sure why though.

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

SoS/NYT screwed up in Alpine by giving Newman the votes for Newsom.

They're showing results for precincts 1 and 2, which have 74 votes for Newsom, not Newman.

Newsom      42.16%
Cox              22.39%
Allen               6.72%
Villaraigosa    6.72%
Chiang         10.82%
Eastin            2.99%
Renteria         2.61%
Others          5.60%

4/5 precincts, 268 total votes

Reporting as of now. SD-34: Janet Nguyen (R) 61%, Tom Umberg (D) 25%. Not looking good for Democrats in this State Senate district.

[Joey1996]

Just me, or was this gubernatorial race too close for comfort? Does Cox really have a shot in November?

No. The Democratic vote was just so split up because Republicans ran fewer candidates. Safe D.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Newsom had a sex scandal on him. That's why Obama ended up endorsing Vilarigosa. Obama,  Harris will campaign for Newsom and he will come out on top.  The race is competitive and Cox shouldn't be underestimated.

Unless Cox renounces immediately his fervent support of Trump, he'll be lucky to break 40%.

Obama didn't endorse him

[TheSaint250]

Was Cox's performance stronger than expected?

LOL, you realize that Cox and Allen got about 36% all together of the vote, while all Dems combined ad up to 59%? And turnout in November will be even higher, what is supposed to benefit Dems. Newsom should crack 60%.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Obama campaigned for Vilarigosa, instead of Newsom.  He wasn't LA mayor. He was the mayor of SF,  where he legalized SSM.

Democrats are set to gain AD-76. Rs currently locked out.

Was Cox's performance stronger than expected?

At the expense of Allen, sure. But the combined R vote was less than expected I think, given Republicans’ high ballot return rate

Yeah, it definitely was. I didn’t expect Cox to end up getting as many votes at Allen’s expense as he did, though.
