March 8 2011 Los Angeles Election Results at Your Fingertips: Click Here for Winners and Losers

Will Mona Field, a college trustee for years, be called to account by voters?

Beginning at 8:30 pm tonight, the Los Angeles City Clerk will issue the first Election Day results for seven Los Angeles City Council races where Jose Huizar, Bernard Parks, Tom LaBonge and other long-timers face challengers.

We in the media will update the latest results for Measure L (libraries), Measure O (oil tax), and all the other city measures and political races. But you, the public, can do it too.

Just click here, for the City of Los Angeles Election Night Results page.

For Los Angeles County (not city) 2011 election results, including the Bell recall, the battle for seats on the LAUSD Board of Education and the last-minute war to wrest control from the bumbling Board of Trustees at the L.A. Community College District, the county makes "latest results" a bit harder to access:

You click here, on the Los Angeles County Registrar of Voters "election results" menu page for election results in Bell, Los Angeles Unified School District and the Los Angeles Community College District.

But if the data are confusing, or you're having trouble accessing the county election results, then go here, to the county's instructions page, and download the recommended file.

Los Angeles City Clerk June Lagmay explains that the very first results of City Council elections and city ballot measures, which go online at about 8:30 p.m. (if nothing goes haywire) will tally up ONLY the absentee ballots received at City Hall before Election Day.

Sometime after 8:30 pm, the city will begin issuing election result updates every 20 to 30 minutes, feeding today's fresh votes in on top of the absentee votes already counted.

A lot will be read into the absentee vote results, but the mailed in votes can be about as accurate as reading tea leaves. If any races are close, it could be a long night.

County Registrar-Record Dean Logan says that on the county's latest election results page, "updates will be performed throughout the night at 15 to 20 minute intervals, beginning at approximately 8:10 p.m. with the absentee ballot results. However, expect regular on-line updates to start between 9:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. and decrease after 12:30 a.m."

“Back to BASICS”

Fiscal responsibility

Family values

Morality

I am not a politician; I am a family man who is fiscally responsible with strong morals

The reason I am not a politician is: because the term politician as defined today stands for – corruption, special interests and pro-government instead of pro-people.

I challenge you today; to do what is good for the people of Los Angeles and than the city.

Do we need an ethical bailout to go along with the financial one?

Let us discuss the need for honesty and integrity as the basic principle of leadership. Defines quality leadership as a process beyond technical competence. Successful leaders continually demonstrate honesty and integrity as an essential element of their professional fabric; a lack of commitment to the principle renders all other skills meaningless. Depicts honesty and integrity as essential elements of human behavior that promote and support quality relationships. Defines honesty and integrity in the context of building trust and maintaining credibility. Provides a sound philosophy that increases the probability for long-term success and professional fulfillment.The matter raised "legitimate and genuine concerns", adding: "My concern ... is that without integrity and legitimacy and honesty, and then Government cannot function. This must now be settled, otherwise it saps at the very heart of what is the highest office – and the highest office-holder."Is honesty for suckers?— A worldwide recession sets in when it turns out that a vast subprime mortgage system was built on a foundation of fraud.— Government officials are convicted of fraud and misappropriation of funds and backdoor deals.— Cheating is rampant in high schools and colleges.

— And in sports? The same deal. Doping scandals, cheating, chemical and otherwise, pervades football, baseball and other sports. — Wall Street is being manipulated by corporate America bilking investors out of billions of dollars.

If so many people are cheating, how can honest people play by the rules and not be at a disadvantage — in school, at work, in sports, in business? Do we need an ethical bailout to go along with the financial one?Are you a chump if you play by the rules? Compiled by: YJ Draiman for Mayor of Los Angeles
