Make It Make Sense has officially wrapped up for the 2024 election cycle. We'll be back for the next election!
Voter Game Plan
The results are coming in, but what do they mean? Which ballot measures passed? Which candidates won office? What kind of promises did they make, and can they keep them?
Stop refreshing your browser. The limited-run newsletter Make It Make Sense will let you know when each race is called and what the results mean for your life in L.A. and O.C. And when all the results are in, we'll move on so you can too.
How often will you email me?
You’ll get one email a day from Nov. 5 to Nov. 8. After that, we’ll email you two or three times a week. The time of day will vary depending on when vote count updates are released. And when it’s time to move on, we’ll stop emailing you — definitely by the end of November, but maybe sooner.
What can I expect?
We’ll send you election results and a rundown of what those results mean and what happens next. For ballot measures, we’ll explain what will (or won’t) change, and when new laws take effect. For winning candidates, we’ll take a look at the promises they made on the campaign trail and what it will take to make them happen.
