San Diego elects its Mayor in a two-stage process. All candidates run in this non-partisan election on March 5, 2024. Then the two top vote-getters run against each other on November 5, even if someone got over 50% in March.
On February 20, a Superior Court ruled that Larry Turner should be on the March ballot, even though his residency has been challenged. There will be a trial about whether he lives in San Diego or El Cajon (a neighboring city) on March 29. The judge said the ballots for March have already been printed so there is no time to decide the eligibility issue now. The votes for Turner will be counted.
But if the trial shows that Turner is ineligible, and he placed either first or second, then in November his name will not be on the ballot and whoever placed third in March will be on the ballot. See this story.
Oh my gosh! What possible difference could it make if he lives in the burns, Tijuana, Ensenada or whatever?? That’s, like, totally irrelevant.
Oopsie, I meant burbs.
NOOO LACHES — FAILURE TO FILE EARLY BEFORE BALLOTS PRINTED ???
APPARENTLY SOME OF THESE PPL NEVER HEARD OF OUTSIDE HIRING B4.
