Martinez/Pugliese Close, Zimmer Seems a Lock

Nury Martinez is sitting on a mere 500 vote lead in the School Board District 6 LAUSD race.  With nearly 25,000 votes counted, the LA City Clerk will likely have to count provisional ballots and absentee votes before the outcome is settled.

On the Westside, Steve Zimmer has enough of a lead to hold back parent activist choice Mike Stryer, 56% to nearly 44%.  

While Villaraigosa might have only received 55% of the vote in a field where he was virtually uncontested, he managed to fill two more seats with members sympathetic to his cause(s).
