    In this Sunday edition: Election Day is this Tuesday, and there are two sports gambling propositions – Props 26 and 27 – on the ballot. As part of LAist's Voter Game Plan guide, we'll explain the difference between the two, and what effect they could have on the state.

    Then, after years of lawsuits accusing Mission Viejo's local elections of being racially polarized, voters there will elect city councilmembers by district — instead of at-large — for the first time. This is also the first vote since three current council members were found to be in office illegally… 

    Plus: change is happening for the region's Asian-American Pacific Islander voters. We'll tell you the different ways candidates are reaching out to this historically neglected group.
