As election results keep rolling in, the races for the 5th and 47th Legislative Districts are becoming even more one-sided, with incumbents prevailing.

With a few more votes to count, it’s still hard to say if Initiative 1351, which aims at reducing class sizes for K-12 education, will pass or not. As of press time, it was passing by a slim margin.
