It's an election that's not much talked about. Next Tuesday, voters of the 26th State Senate district (map) will go to the polls and choose one of eight candidates to take the seat once held by the now County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas. That means residents from Hollywood, Los Feliz and Silver Lake to South LA and Culver City are all called back to the polls twice in the same month. "Just two freakin’ days after this last election — I find yet another official sample ballot," huffed Will Campbell at Metblogs. "Owing to how only a whopping 15% of those voters registered bothered to cast ballots Tuesday, I get the feeling this race might literally be decided by one of the eight candidates’ mothers."
