Neal Kelley at the Orange County Registrar of Voters has released the estimated number of Provisional and late Vote-By-Mail ballots remaining to be counted in the 69th and 72nd Assembly district contests. As we reported yesterday, these races have a significant number of outstanding ballots remaining to be counted which may effect the final placement of candidates in the top-two primary election.
In the 69th there are 7,761 ballots outstanding.
In the 72nd there are 15,031 ballots outstanding.
The preliminary results as of 5 p.m. Wednesday are as follows:
~50K votes in the original absentee and at the machines. 30% of that still remains. If those votes follow the original absentee breakdown it should go edgar/pham/dovinh/allen. The question is if the percentages are enough to change the outcome.
