SD-09: Finally, some returns are coming in.  I'm seeing Loni Hancock up 56-44 with 31% in.

SD-15: Haven't heard any updates on Dennis Morris.  It's going to take a while to figure this one out.

[UPDATE by Robert] not including Monterey and Santa Clara counties, which have not yet reported their write-in votes, 2,645 write-in votes have been recored in SD-15. Not clear yet how many are for Morris and how many are for Maldonado, and we likely won't know for a few days. But it's quite doable.

SD-19: With 63%, Hannah-Beth Jackson now has 1,300 more votes in her race than Tony Strickland does in his.  I can't wait to win this one in November.

SD-23: 19% in now.  Fran Pavley leads 63-37.  Since this kind of result was likely anyway, why did she have to go negative?

SD-25: This is unnerving.  Rod Wright has now taken a 336-vote lead over Mervyn Dymally with 40% of the vote in.  Wright is too moderate for this seat.  Not over yet, obviously.

Just a quick final reminder of the Calitics Show. You can stream it live on the Radio show home page or listen to a podcast there or at iTunes.

Assembly member Lloyd Levine and former Assembly member Fran Pavley will join us to talk about a number of California policy issues. I figure they might also mention the fact that they are both running for SD-23 as well.
