Orange County Register Story on Likelihood that No Democrat Will be on November Ballot in US House District 48

California’s U.S. House district 48 is one of the seats that Democrats had been hoping to win in 2018. However, this article in the Orange County Register says that with two strong Republicans, and eight Democrats, running in the June primary, chances are good that no Democrat will qualify for the November ballot. The two Republicans are incumbent Dana Rohrabacher and former Republican Party state chair Scott Baugh.

UPDATE: Democrats are also worried about the same problem in two other California districts, the 39th and the 49th. See this NPR story.

  1. The top 2 primary is a short version of RCV/IRV —

    IE getting 2 hacks of the same party remaining

    — after earlier choices 3, 4, etc. are eliminated in RCV/IRV.

  2. I am not sure that Dana Rohrabacher will survive the Mueller probe, if he is re-elected.
