(#6331) We won't now the outcome of the final votes for California's primary for several more days

      As is the usual scenario in California, about 50% of the vote comes in on election night. After that small percentages are added each day for about 10 days. So we get an inkling of how the vote share is distributed among the candidates but nowhere near enough to make a call on too many races. However the trend is always that the later votes still being counted trend overwhelmingly democratic. So any lead from the counting on election  night by a republican is in jeopardy. Which is the case in several congressional races and even the governor race.
     The republican candidate for governor holds a slight lead for now but as the votes come in I expect that Becerra will quickly overtake the republican's lead and the other democrat Steyer will begin gaining on the republican. Will Steyer gain enough to pass the republican? We don't know yet but depending on turnout he could well do so and give democrats both candidates for governor in November. To me though that is a bit of a reach. However trying to figure out how this will end up is more a fool's errand than just waiting to see the final tally of votes. Personally, I want to see both democrats in the final race because they both will contrast and compare with each other.
     If that scenario of having 2 democrats in the final election were to come about the citizens of California will be the ultimate victors. If the republican makes it to the final then know that his defeat is assured and gives we the people of California no compromising function for the democrat to adjust his position as needed. The republican party is not offering the people of California solutions that help us all so their attendance in the final is moot. With 2 democrats in the final I can see a honing of positions to attract we the people of California's votes. A win/win with 2 democrats in the final race. It may be wishful thinking but let's see the rest of the vote first.
