Is The LA Times To Blame?
City Controller Wendy Greuel speaks to her supporters after polls in a run-off election for Mayor closed in Los Angeles, California on May 21, 2013. Los Angeles councilman Eric Garcetti took a narrow lead in early results from a run-off election to succeed LA mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, but the race remained too close to call after midnight. Garcetti and Greuel, both Democrats like Villaraigosa, campaigned down to the wire after emerging from a March primary poll contested by a total of eight candidates. AFP PHOTO/Frederic J.
