On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder's office reports Karen Bass appears to now hold a comfortable lead over Rick Caruso in the latest ballot count.
As of just before 3:45 p.m. Tuesday, Bass has about 375,000 votes (52.55%) while Caruso trails by about 36,000 votes (his total sat just under 339,000; 47.45%).
