California Dems have deep bench for 2018 and any possible Senate vacancies. I look forward to the primary.

Only thing is we don't have a primary any more. We have top two, and it's to the party's advantage to just run one major candidate.

I think every State ought to implement that top-two system.

Horrible system. The top-two systems prevents the democratic voters from picking their candidate in a primary, and instead gets whatever candidate was handpicked by the party leaders to stave off the risk of vote-splitting putting two Republicans on the ballot.

I agree. So what happens in 2018, if AG Kamela Kamala Harris and LG Gavin Newsom both seek California's top job?

One or both of them will make it to the runoff and win.

Is the vote counting officially completed or is there still a chance of Brown getting >60%?

[solarstorm]

On November 20 new votes came in. The margin for Brown widened, but he's still below 60%.
Is a result beyond 60% still possible?

According to California's Secretary of State it's pretty close right now. Brown is yet at 59.9%. http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/governor/

59.91987% to be exact.

I think Brown may pass the 60% mark.

All 24,435 precincts have been reported.
Edmund Brown got 59.97% of the vote.
Quelle Merde!
