Steve Lopez: Karen Bass appears headed to victory. LA needs fixing, let's hope she can deliver

Somebody once said it ain't over till it's over, but that doesn't seem to apply to the race for mayor of Los Angeles.

In the latest ballot count Monday evening, Karen Bass widened her lead over Rick Caruso, continuing a trend in which she's winning more than 60% of mail-in votes. The working theory among pollsters is that the more conservative voters went to the polls, while younger and more liberal voters cast the majority of the remaining uncounted votes.

"These results mean Karen Bass is on track to win the mayoralty of Los Angeles," said Fernando Guerra, director of the Center for the Study of Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount University.
