VoteHub projects Nithya Raman to advance from the Nonpartisan primary for Los Angeles Mayor.

WinCast update: Hilton’s chance to advance in the CA governor’s race rose from 85% to 93% after Steyer again fell short of his needed marks on Saturday. The aggregate drops were roughly as expected, but with more vote in, uncertainty is shrinking and Hilton remains clearly favored.

Hilton overperformed today in Central Valley counties and key Southland counties like Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino. Even with Steyer beating expectations in many large counties, Hilton’s projected margin rose from 0.6% to 1.3%, moving his win chance from 62% to 85%.

While OC reports ballots remaining by method, most counties don’t. If LA County is counting drop boxes before E Day dropoffs (reverse of OC), that may explain Steyer’s strength today. But if LA is following the same method as OC, Steyer may be even stronger in the remaining vote.

Poor result for Steyer in Orange County, continuing a trend of Southern California counties, with the exception of Los Angeles, falling substantially short of his benchmark.

The Central Valley remains Hilton's best region in the trail so far. The CV trail has been volatile in past elections, so today's pattern may not hold. If Hilton keeps gaining ground there, Steyer needs even stronger numbers out of LA and the Bay Area than I'm sure are possible

Los Angeles continues to move hard in Steyer’s direction with each new batch. If that trend were to continue at its current pace, he would likely win. That said, the recent rate of movement is so strong it may not be sustainable over time.

Huge drop for Raman. Heavily favored to pass Pratt. She beat Bass on this one.

The Central Valley continues to produce some of Steyer’s weaker late mail numbers. Not only is it less blue than usual, but Becerra is also capturing a larger share of the Democratic vote, limiting Steyer’s gains.
