Woke DAs Routed in California

Voters in three major California counties continued the rejection of so-called “progressive” prosecutors yesterday. The results below are as of 5 am PST:

In Los Angeles, voters ousted George Gascón in favor of Nathan Hochman by a landslide 61-39.

In Alameda County (Oakland and vicinity), voters recalled Pamela Price by an even larger margin, 65-35.

In San Francisco, voters reelected Brooke Jenkins, who replaced the previously recalled Chesa Boudin. She was challenged by Ryan Khojasteh, one of the prosecutors she fired shortly after taking the reins. Khojasteh tried to soft-pedal his links to the “progressive” prosecutor movement, but he was endorsed by all the usual suspects: Gascón, Philly’s Larry Krasner, and California’s thug-hugging Gov. Newsom. See this story in the SF Chron Saturday. The vote at this time is over 2-to-1: 67-32.

And yet, on the same ballot, San Franciscans sent Scott Wiener back to the California Senate for four more years of dumping as many murderers and rapists back on the streets as he possibly can. Go figure.
