No surprise here: Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa coasted to reelection on Tuesday, grabbing 55 percent of the vote in the latest tally by the county clerk.
His closest challenger, Walter Moore, had 26 percent of the vote.
Measure B, a key plank of Villaraigosa's renewable energy platform, was deadlocked as of this morning, but slightly behind:
Yes:
109,183 votes
No:
110,505
An unknown number of provisional and absentee ballots remain,
In the city attorney race, Council Jack Weiss won a five-person race by 10 percentage points. He'll be in a runoff on May 19 with Carmen "Nuch" Trutanich
Councilwoman Wendy Greul coasted into the controller's post, avoiding a runoff with more than 65 percent of the vote.
Former Assemblyman Paul Koretz was locked in a tight race to replace Weiss on the Council. Less than 100 votes separated him and David Vehedi in the only open-seat campaign. As the top two vote-getters, they are headed for a May 19 runoff.
