Andrew Do Wins Supervisor D1 Race
Andrew Do finally can declare himself the winner of the Supervisor D1 race against Michelle Martinez. An unprecedented 151,623 ballots were cast and Do won by 657 votes. There are now less than 50 votes left to be tallied for D1 and it is unlike that Martinez can catch up.
The tidal wave of Hispanic voter turn-out in this presidential election has caused a number of notable races in Orange County to be Blue instead of Red. The biggest upset of the day is Ling- Ling Chang (R) lost to Josh Newman (D) and the California State Senate now has the super majority.
