Henry, if you're reading this and still in line, the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder has instructed all voters left off the roster to cast a provisional ballot.

It will be counted, they assured voters.

Imagine seeing this and thinking it's such a good point that you decide to personally endorse it by sharing it with others. Shame is dead.

:lol

More fake Christian self-pwnage.

Democrats get a total of 56% of the vote here, meaning that if the fall election goes roughly similarly, and ALL of the "other" candidates go for the Republicans, they still lose by almost ten points.

Maths is hard, I know.

So a lot of people were forced to use different kinds of ballots by an administrative error?

There is no blue wave in California

Democrats need to gain 23 seats to win the House in the 2018 midterm elections. They have been touting the fact that there are 10 competitive seats in California, seven of which were carried by Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016, and are currently held by Republicans.

Of those, four are in the traditional Republican stronghold of Orange County, where demographic shifts purportedly favor Democrats. Making the opportunity more ripe, two of those four Orange County races are open seats with the retirement of two powerful House committee chairmen, Ed Royce in the 39th District and Darrell Issa in the 49th District.

This week’s wild "jungle primary," where the top two vote-getters move on to the general election, was supposed to be about the huge fields of Democrats vying for a rising tide of disgusted voters ready to send President Trump a rebuke. The only fear was that they might split the vote and be shut out of the runoff despite commanding powerful anti-Republican majorities.

The fundraisers and media talking heads have been telling everyone, and donors in particular, that the path to the Democratic majority runs through California. By election day, they had raised and spent millions to capitalize on the opportunity. Reading the post primary headlines, the story is being reported as a win for Democrats because they avoided being shut out of winnable races, and will have a candidate in all 10 runoff elections in November.

That is a very shallow and self-serving conclusion to draw. The best predictor of the November results is to aggregate the Republican versus Democratic votes into a two-party contest. What the coverage has almost universally ignored is that there was no commanding blue wave of voters for the Democrats to unify and win in November.

In fact, in nine of the 10 races, the Democratic candidates were squabbling over decidedly inadequate pools of available voters, and the Republicans maintained their traditional majority advantages. Here are the final results in the 10 targeted California districts from the Tuesday primary elections.

In the 4th District, Republican Rep. Tom McClintock won with 52 percent of the vote, and the GOP on the whole earned 59 percent. In the 10th District, Republican Rep. Jeff Denham won with 38 percent, and the GOP earned 52 percent. In the 21st District, Republican Rep. David Valadao won the race against Democrat T.J. Cox with 64 percent of the vote. In the 22nd District, Republican Rep. Devin Nunes won with 58 percent, beating three Democrats and two minor party candidates with a combined 41 percent.

In the 25th District, Republican Rep. Steve Knight won with 53 percent, beating three Democrats with a combined 47 percent. In the 39th District, Republican Young Kim won with 22 percent beating a field of 16 candidates, and the GOP earned 54 percent. In the 45th District, Republican Rep. Mimi Walters won with 53 percent, beating three Democrats and a minor party candidate with a combined 47 percent. In the 48th District, Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher won with 30 percent, beating a field of 15 candidates including a challenge from a popular former Orange County Republican Party chairman, and the GOP earned 53 percent.

In the 49th District, there was a toss-up. Diane Harkey won 26 percent, beating a field of 15 candidates. The GOP earned 48 percent while four Democrats combined for 50 percent with the highest, Mike Levin, getting 17 percent. In the 50th District, Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter won with 49 percent, the GOP earned 64 percent, and the highest Democrat got 16 percent.

With the clarity that only election results (and not polling or hype) can produce, only one district in California appears like a possible flip. Even that is far from certain. And the much vaunted rising blue wave of voters assembling to sweep the Democrats to victory in November? Well, they turned out to be a blue mirage. If the path to winning the next majority runs through these 10 districts in California, it looks like the Republicans will hold the House and the Democrats will be wandering in the political desert for another cycle, at least.
