Following up on this post, it appears that the race for the second spot on L.A.’s mayoral runoff ballot won’t be close enough to go to a recount. With about 24,000 (mainly absentee?) votes remaining to be counted, there is about a 5000 vote difference between candidates 2 and 3. (See here.) Last night before I went to sleep there were no results available, because of dense fog delaying the helicpoters delivering the votes to be counted. (See here.)
