Everything else is settled. 1A-1E are defeated. 1F passes. Judy Chu wins CA-32. Curren Price wins SD-26. Carmen Trutanich will be L.A.’s new City Attorney.
There’s one that’s still hanging by a thread: the City Council race (Los Angeles District 5) between Paul Koretz and David Vahedi. Paul had a lead of 53-47 earlier, but that margin has closed significantly:
| PAUL KORETZ | 15,787 | 50.51 |
| DAVID T VAHEDI | 15,471 | 49.49 |
There are only two precincts left to report. I will update when there is more info from the LA County Recorder.
UPDATE at 1:05am: The last two precincts have come in, and were a slight gain for Koretz, who won by a final margin of 335 votes, or 1.06%. Koretz was the candidate supported by the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, by labor, by Young Democrats, and by most of his rivals in the March 4 election. And he needed every bit of that support tonight.
