SAN DIEGO, CALIF. - The hotly contested race in San Diego City Council District 1 is currently too close to call as many late and provisional ballots still need to be counted.

District One includes the communities of Carmel Valley, La Jolla, Torrey Pines, University City, and nearby communities.

Democracy Now! turned its attention to California’s primary Tuesday, focusing on the excitement surrounding 600,000 new registered voters in the last two months and what that means with the current presidential primary rules in the state.

San Diego, CALIF. - Kevin Faulconer will not be facing a November runoff as the Republican incumbent earned 58% of the vote in the 2016 Primary election.

Independent candidate Lori Saldaña finished second with 22% and Ed Harris has 19%.

The numbers will likely move a bit more as there are still 285,000 mail provisional ballots to be counted in the county.

SACRAMENTO, CALIF. - California Attorney General Kamala Harris and U.S. Rep Loretta Sanchez became the first two candidates from the same party to move on to the general election in a U.S. Senate race in California. The race guarantees that no matter who wins, history will be made in California.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF.  - The Independent Voter Project (IVP) is out to educate San Diegans on the need for charter reform. San Diego is one of the largest cities in California that uses the "50% plus one" rule to decide its local elections.

The mass media seems to only want to fuel the perception that their goal is to influence and sway public opinion during elections.

With the 24-hour news-cycle bombshell that Hillary Clinton has now locked in the nomination, will people just stay home and not vote?
