One example is the San Diego County Board of Supervisors District 3, with incumbent Republican Kristin Gaspar taking on Democrats Olga Diaz and Terra Lawson-Remer.<\/p>\n<p>The race was expected to be a tight one as far as how much of the vote Gaspar would secure and which of the two Democrats would reach the coveted second-place slot to advance to the November general election. With over 90% of the votes cast, Gaspar has a solid lead over Diaz and Lawson-Remer.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/CS-D3.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the outcome being clear, Diaz announced her concession in a Twitter thread:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/OlgaDiazD3\/status\/1237500765318467586?utm_source=Voice+of+San+Diego+Master+List&#038;utm_campaign=381bff0bc5-Morning_Report&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_term=0_c2357fd0a3-381bff0bc5-84203401&#038;goal=0_c2357fd0a3-381bff0bc5-84203401<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s tempting to call this a huge win for Gaspar, the concern lies in the fact that she only acquired a plurality of the vote. The combined total of the Democratic vote in the primary puts Gaspar at a 13% disadvantage. If Democratic voters unite behind Lawson-Remer in November, there&#8217;s a huge risk of the Board of Supervisors flipping into Democratic control.<\/p>\n<p>One doesn&#8217;t need to think too deeply about what this would mean: more taxes, more regulation, more homelessness, sanctuary cities, increased cost of living, and the list goes on. This race is arguably the <em>most important<\/em> in all of San Diego. The stakes are high, and the consequences may be even higher if Republicans fail to re-elect Kristin Gaspar in November.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/kevlar\/\">Photo by Kevin Baird via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the primary election results continue to trickle in, some races have gradually shifted in terms of the final vote count.
