Just a quick note on our election coverage tonight:

Results from absentee ballots are usually announced at about 8:30 p.m. The L.A. County Registrar-Recorder then begins releasing precinct results throughout the night.

Final election results usually aren't known until late in the night.

I'll be posting local election results as they come in on the Patriot's Facebook page, on Twitter (@downeypatriot) and here.
