The L.A. County Registrar-Recorder's office reports that there are about 800 ballots left to be counted in the 51st Assembly District. If that's the case, then Steve Bradford only needs to win 86 of them (10.7 percent) to win a majority of the vote and take the seat outright.
Since he won 52.9 percent of the ballots counted so far, it's a near certainty that taxpayers will be spared the expense of a runoff.
