LACCD Trustee Mike Fong (right) can smile (for now) via his early lead in tonight's 51st Assembly District Special Election.

** Blogger's Notes: DISCLAIMER ALERT!! For those few who cared to have voted in today's 51st Assembly District Special Election, PLEASE do not expect a final determination this evening regarding the CERTAIN December Runoff aspirants. with the initial tally of the Absentee Ballots, LACCD Board of Trustees Member (and former CD-1 and Mayor Villar Staffer) Mike Fong, has parleyed his numerous community contacts .........., into a 404 lead over second place candidate Luis Lopez.

But the Lopez Campaign cannot relax in being assured of a position in the December Runoff, via the CLOSE third place position of Wendy Carrillo, who only trails by 92 votes. 

The initial count of the Absentee Ballots, denotes a separation of Fong, Lopez and Carrillo from the rest of the twelve candidates field, with Gabriel Sandoval being the ONLY other candidate to break double-digits in percentage of votes.

Thus, with the ABYSMAL voter turnout today, EVERY ballot will need to be counted in the days ahead to finalize the candidates for December's Runoff-----Scott Johnson.
