So far we’ve gotten drops from LA County and Santa Clara county.

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

We got another small dump

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

According to DDHQ, roughly 270K votes remain

[Ellis Bates @ElliscbIV]

A late mail drop shows Raman gaining substantially over both frontrunners. However, it's relatively unclear how many ballots are outstanding.

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

According to DDHQ, there’s an estimated 270K votes in LA City outstanding.

Los Angeles County Late Mail

Candidate – Votes (Percent, Difference from 6/2 Votes)
🔵 Xavier Becerra – 26,434 (35.4%, +6.5%)
🔵 Tom Steyer – 22,025 (29.5%, +7.2%)
🔴 Steve Hilton – 12,759 (17.1%, -6.1%)
🔴 Chad Bianco – 3,449 (4.6%, -2.9%)

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

This is slightly lower than the benchmark for steyer but with these dumps you’re likely to get a margin of error. Either way still a great dump for him and it’s looking like the later the mail, the better for steyer they will be.

We got a dump from LA county

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

The lead for Pratt is now at 7 points, down from 8.

Brother if republicans had nukes then mills also would have had them. Also those “nukes” are probably not even nukes.

[Yesh Ginsburg @yesh222]

Here’s the likely timeline for Platner oppo dumps:
Dem dump tomorrow—last ditch effort to impact primary.

Depending on primary results, Tuesday or Wednesday evening. Try to get him to drop out. Maybe also small bits from Collins.

Rs start dropping nukes July 14th. Biggest first

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

@lawler4ny Fact check: Mike Lawler has met and posed with Ben Gvir, who was convicted of supporting terrorism.

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

That, would literally be good for Pratt

[WAKE UP AMERICA 🟥 ⬜️🟦 @Arobedw]

The Los Angeles, California mayor’s election has added 33,000 votes for Karen Bass and 40,000 votes for Spencer Pratt in the last 14 hours.

14 hours and 73,000 votes added .

Everyone can see the steal.

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

Unless they tie which in that case all 3 advance

[Benjamin Passino MURP @mtnpassiknow]

I agree with @SteveKornacki current trend forecasted using a simple linear regression looks like a nail biter for team @nithyavr

Note: there's no runoff here, whoever gets second place, even by 1 vote, advances to November.

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

Those Ramaswamy numbers probably explains him being down by only a point.

Posting this race for no particular reason today.

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

As I just posted, Mejia won so much of the late outstanding vote with margins we always use when we say “possible but unlikely.” And polling showed that Steyer was winning overwhelmingly the late deciders.

[Ellis Bates @ElliscbIV]

Posting this race for no particular reason today.

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

If you want an idea of how possibly pro steyer these late votes could be, remember the lead Tom Malinowski had in the special primary in #NJ11 was so big that Mejia had to win almost all the remaining vote, and she did just that. Progressives tend to do extremely well in these late ballots.

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

I think it’s incredibly way too early to declare the writing is on the wall for a Becerra vs Hilton matchup.

[Addisu Demissie @ASDem]

Went on @CNNTheStoryIs with my guy @Elex_Michaelson late last night to talk CA-GOV takes and more. TL;DR: I think the writing is on the wall for a Becerra/Hilton general and we’ll know a lot more by 5pm PT today.

[The Election Center @ElectionCenter_]

Oh 👀

I unironically don’t like big dumps where in some cases all the results in come in at once, but a good trickle of decent amount of votes.

[Jarrett Walker @humantransit]

Conspiracy theory: Maybe California counts votes slowly because the count is run by election geeks who can’t bear to rush past the subtle beauty of each few hundred votes from Siskiyou County. To them it would be like eating rich food too fast to savor it.
