Los Angeles Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey is all but certain to face former San Francisco Dist. Atty. George Gascón in a runoff in November, according to the latest returns
Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey appears highly likely to face progressive challenger George Gascón in a November runoff that could set the tone for criminal justice policy inside the nation’s largest court system for years to come, according to returns made public Tuesday.
To avoid a runoff, Lacey needs 50% of the vote plus one. But to hit that figure, she’d need to secure 53,000 of the remaining potential ballots, which is extremely unlikely as her vote share has been trending down since the initial set of returns came out on election night. In a statement, Lacey said she was “honored” by the hundreds of thousands of voters who turned out for her and noted that in the wake of the panic caused by the spread of the coronavirus it is “all the more important that we have a real conversation about keeping our community safe.
