California’s primary is less than a month away, and there’s a lot of information for voters to process before the polls open.
With new technology rolling out this election cycle along with significant changes to where and when people can vote in their communities, not to mention all of the different races at the local and state level, we’re starting a weekly check-in with KPCC politics reporter Libby Denkmann, who is following all things voting in SoCal. Here are some of the headlines she’s watching this week:
25th district race -- Who will win Katie Hill’s seat?
DA’s race -- Lacey vs. Gascon vs. Rossi
L.A. City Council 12th district race -- Round 2 of John Lee vs. Loraine Lundquist
District 2 County Supervisor -- Jake Jeong, Holly Mitchell, Jan Perry & Herb Wesson
Padilla OK’s L.A. County voting machines -- with some caveats
Voting changes and how prepare local voters are feeling for election day
No Party Preference voters have told pollsters they want to vote in the Democratic primary, but barely any of them have requested a crossover ballot yet.
