CA-25: Can this type of result happen?

[Greedo punched first]

It's going to be a Smith vs Garcia runoff, and Smith will win by high single digits in the end.

It's going to be a Smith vs Papadopoulos runoff. Garcia and Knight will split the GOPe vote.

It's absolutely infuriating that Cenk is even in this race. Smith could win it outright if not for him.

This will prevent Smith from getting >50% in the primary and avoiding a runoff. Knight, Garcia, and the nobody Republicans will split the vote, causing a Smith-Papadopoulos runoff.

Mike Garcia received the LA County GOP endorsement.

Damn, I wasn't aware that Knight has fallen so much out of favor with the local party.

Garcia has the endorsement and Knight has the name recognition. The spoiler effect might eliminate them both, handing the nomination to Papadopoulos.

If that happens, Safe D.

But it would be an embarrassment for Papadopoulos to be the nominee, even though he will ultimately lose. In the 2018 CA State Board of Equalization district 4 election, Democrats failed to nominate a serious candidate. Former San Diego City Councilman and corrupt eccentric perennial candidate Mike Schaefer became the Democratic nominee and won the general election against GOP State Senator Joel Anderson.
