L.A. Municipal Election Results: Final

Well, just about final, since there's one precinct in Council District 9 still left.  But here's a recap, pending provisionals (which could only seriously risk affecting who participates in a runoff in one race):

  • Villaraigosa avoids the embarrassment of a runoff with 55.56%.
  • Measure B appears to have failed.
  • David Vahedi and Paul Koretz are headed to a runoff in CD5 after being separated by 60 votes; Adeena Bleich took a more distant third.
  • Republican attempts to win College Board seats failed, as Santiago and Lowry retain their seats.  The other incumbents, Angela Reddock in seat 2 and Nancy Pearlman in seat 6, fell a few points shy of winning outright and will face a runoff.
