Election 2022: New vote count shows few questions for local Assembly races

With only a few exceptions, the vote tallies released late Wednesday for the nine state Assembly seats that touch Orange County now show which primary candidates will advance to the decisive ballot in November.

Here’s a breakdown of the races based on the latest vote counts, along with some context about what might play out in the general election, when turnout is expected to be higher than in the primary and the group of voters slightly more liberal.

In at least two Assembly primaries the final lineup could change over the next few days, when more votes are counted.
