You’ve cast your primary ballot and seen the overall election results. Now you can dig deeper into the numbers by using six searchable maps created by inewsource.
Why this matters
inewsource’s precinct maps help voters see how each neighborhood voted in high-profile San Diego County races and what that might mean for races that will be decided in November.
Our maps allow you to explore voting results by precinct or by address in six of this year’s most high-profile races: the 49th and 50th congressional districts; the 4th and 5th county Board of Supervisors districts; district attorney; and sheriff.
In the district attorney’s race, interim District Attorney Summer Stephan beat Deputy Public Defender Geneviéve Jones-Wright with almost 64 percent of the vote. Sheriff Bill Gore won re-election over sheriff’s Cmdr. Dave Myers by capturing 56 percent of the vote.
While those two races were settled Tuesday, the top two vote-getters in the congressional and county supervisor contests will face off in November.
With 100 percent of precincts reporting, the race for the North County congressional seat being vacated by Republican Rep. Darrell Issa had Diane Harkey, a Republican, finishing first with almost 25.5 percent of the vote. Coming in second was Mike Levin, a Democrat, with about 17 percent of the vote. Sixteen candidates competed for the seat.
Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter of Alpine, who is under investigation by the FBI for possibly misusing campaign funds, finished first in a seven-candidate field with almost 49 percent of the vote. Coming in second for the East County seat was Ammar Campa-Najjar, a Democrat, with about 16 percent of the vote.
The numbers in inewsource’s maps are as of Wednesday morning and may change as mail-in and provisional ballots are counted. The 49th and 50th congressional district maps include portions of Orange and Riverside counties, respectively. The Riverside County Registrar of Voters Office did not provide precinct-level voting data.
What to look for in the maps
Precincts are the most granular voting divisions available. They determine polling locations and can include several hundred voters or just a handful. The inewsource maps show the top vote-getters in each precinct and how many votes were cast. You can also see the share of the vote among top candidates.
