STAFF MEMBERS IN BOTH MONTEREY AND SANTA CRUZ COUNTY ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN FIELDING CALLS FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE (OR IF) THEY SHOULD VOTE IN TOMORROW’S 15TH SENATE DISTRICT SPECIAL ELECTION. THE 4 CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR WHAT USED TO BE ABEL MALDONADO’S SEAT ARE SAM BLAKESLEE, JIM FITZGERALD, MARK HINKLE, AND JOHN LAIRD. IF NONE OF THE 4 CANDIDATES RECEIVE MORE THAN 50 PERCENT OF THE VOTE TOMORROW, THERE COULD BE A RUN-OFF ELECTION AUGUST 14TH.
