1. Will there be a run off because she's under 51%? nt

2. I believe there will be a runoff if no candidate exceeds 50%

I’m not sure why they aren’t using ranked choice voting.

3. I'm really surprised

And pleasantly so.

Those outside the LA media market may not be aware of the extent of Caruso's "shock and awe" advertising campaign, but--as a lifelong Angeleno--I've never seen anything like it.

Yet Karen Bass (my candidate) is in the lead going into the general. I imagine most of those who supported other candidates will break for Bass.

Looks good moving forward.
