SANTA ANA (CNS) - Today is the deadline to cast ballots in the special election to fill the Second District seat on the Orange County Board of Supervisors vacated when Michelle Steel was elected to the House of Representatives.
Unlike regular multi-candidate elections for the Board of Supervisors, where a majority is required to be elected, Tuesday s winner will take a seat on the board regardless of how high his or her percentage of the votes is.
In a district where Republicans have a 38%-33.2% registration lead, party leaders are worried that with three candidates in the officially nonpartisan race, Costa Mesa Mayor Katrina Foley, a Democrat, will prevail.
