After a voting tally update from the Santa Cruz County Clerk Tuesday afternoon, the outcomes of races for Santa Cruz City Council and the two ballot initiatives M and L seem unlikely to change with further updates.
"No surprises in Tuesday’s primary election, but some intriguing choices set up for November," writes the Editorial Board. "That Democrats swept through local legislative contests was totally expected. None of the races were competitive, even though these races will reprise in the Nov. 5 general election because of California’s Top 2 voting system."
