@MichaelGatesESQ That’s how math works, bud.

A 4 million person city is > Alpine County’s biggest town which is 224 people.

50+1 doesn’t apply to partisan races. I have no idea why local organizations continue to invite this man to speak at their events.

.@ChadBianco and supporters. If you’d done the right thing, we’d have a Republican governor this morning.

And more votes for Pratt. Not 0. #LAMayor

Fun little fact — all political parties have the right to have Election Observers to be “in attendance at any or all phases of the election”

Including “the processing of vote-by-mail identification envelopes and vote-by-mail ballots”

It’s literally in Elections Code.

Other Ventura County story tonight - a good majority in the early vote for @deborahklopez for #AD42 when general election is generally bluer.

And that’s a wrap. Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin moves on for #CA26 in first.

Vote your heart for Governor. There will be no lock out.

Have you spotted the goats in Long Canyon in Simi Valley? Those are your Prop 4 dollars at work.

The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (through Prop 4 funds allocated from the State) awarded the $650,000 grant to Ventura County to get this work done.

As of this afternoon, all evacuation warnings have been lifted, with the exception of areas immediately surrounding the fire perimeter, which remain under an evacuation warning.

Residents and visitors are asked to remain mindful of emergency vehicles and fire equipment still operating throughout the area as firefighting operations continue.

#SandyFire morning operational update with Chief Trevor Johnson:

The Sandy Fire is currently 2,114.5 acres with 30% containment. There are 1,121 firefighters assigned to the incident.

Firefighters are expecting improved weather conditions today, including lower temperatures and higher humidity, which should assist suppression efforts.

Today’s operational priority is the lower southeast corner of the fire, where crews are working to strengthen and reinforce containment lines. Firefighters continue hiking through rugged terrain to build control lines and mop up hotspots, while aviation resources assist with water drops to cool active areas.

Crews are also continuing mop-up operations in neighborhoods behind homes to ensure complete extinguishment.

Damage inspection teams remain in the field documenting any impacts caused by the fire.

There is too much normalization of anti-Muslim language in public discourse, including sitting Members of Congress.

[The Associated Press @AP]

The two suspects in a Monday shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego are dead, according to a police source. The Islamic Center is the largest mosque in San Diego County, according to its website. Aerial TV footage showed more than a dozen children holding hands and being walked out of the parking lot of the center that is surrounded by scores of police vehicles.
