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.

I've never liked the lesser-of-two-evils type of election. It's bad politics and the voters deserve better.

But after Tuesday night, the near end of the primary season, the cold math becomes a race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump for the White House.

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. - San Diego City Councilmember Scott Sherman (R) won re-election in San Diego's 7th District Tuesday night, avoiding a November election by winning approximately 62% of the vote. Sherman beat Democrats Justin DeCesare and Jose Caballero.

The two presumptive presidential nominees for the Republican and Democratic parties had a big night Tuesday. Running unopposed, Trump swept all 5 Republican contests to add more delegates to his total count, while Hillary Clinton won 4 of the 6 (CA, NJ, NM, and SD) Democratic contests.

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?

On Tuesday, June 7, 6 states -- California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, and South Dakota -- will hold Democratic presidential contests in what has proven to be a hotly contested race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. In total, there are 694 pledged delegates up for grabs, a big jackpot for the candidate who can garner the most votes.

While the Republican Party is trying to unify its members behind the party's presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, there are some GOP lawmakers, consultants, and politicos who are still holding on to the #NeverTrump movement as long as they can.

This week, voters in eastern North Carolina will have the opportunity to decide the political fate of one of its more independent members.
