Janice Hahn Leads in Early Voting in 36th CD (CA)

With vote totals in for Vote By Mail (VBM) ballots, as well as 7 of 261 precincts, Democrat Janice Hahn has taken an 8.5% lead over her opponent, Republican Craig Huey. Here are the initial numbers, released by the Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder at 8:04 p.m.:

                                                                           
 JANICE HAHN  DEM  21,365    54.24
 CRAIG HUEY   REP  18,025    45.76
                                                                         
TOTAL PRECINCTS 261   PRECINCTS REPORTING 7  2.68 

While these totals don't guarantee a victory for Hahn, they will be helpful against a possible surge by Huey amongst Republican voters in the Torrance / South Bay area, where Huey is expected to run strong.

We'll try to post updates as they become available.
