🚨 Los Angeles DA Jackie Lacey just conceded to progressive challenger George Gascón.

Gascón, who was SF DA, ran on reducing incarceration & bringing the national reform movement to this county of 10 million.

And major activist energy around the office. theappeal.org/george-gascon-…
I interviewed Gascon in January about his policy views in a Q&A.

He made his case for why some behaviors should not be criminally prosecuted, for avoiding very lengthy sentences, for not using gang enhancements, and more.

theappeal.org/politicalrepor…
Gascon told me then: "The problem is that LA County has come to a place where they use the most expensive and the most intrusive tools of the criminal justice system to deal with every behavior, & that is prosecution & incarceration."

He stressed LA incarceration 4 times SF's.

Joe Biden is now ahead in Georgia!

Latest batch of ballots from Clayton County has given him the statewide lead. More remains from Clayton, part of which John Lewis represented in Congress until July.

No Democrat has won GA in a presidential race since 1992.
Biden's lead sits at 917 votes.

Clayton reported 1,800 ballots, which the AP/NYT does not yet include. (Clayton's count is here: results.enr.clarityelections.com/GA/Clayton/105…)

Roughly 700 remain in Clayon. Many more from blue Gwinnett. Also some from Laurens, Forsyth, Cobb, Floyd.
So, where were you?

Two HUGE resuts in Georgia: Dems have flipped the sheriff's offices in Cobb & Gwinnett counties (pop: 1.6 million)

This is big for many reasons.

1/ The GOP sheriffs here have intense ties with ICE, which the Dems had promised to curtail or end. See:
theappeal.org/politicalrepor…
2/ Both of the incoming sheriffs are Black, which breaks the pattern of overwhelmingly white sheriffs (as @MauriceChammah just noted).

It's also a direct parallel to NC in 2018, when roughly 5 new Black Democrats won sheriff's offices & ended ties with ICE.
3/ Jail conditions & jail deaths were a huge issue here, in both races. theappeal.org/politicalrepor…

A measure of accountability against officials who escape it so consistently.

I've shared a number of resources in recent weeks, so I'm going to make a brief 'master list' thread here that brings them together for easier use.
1/ My cheat sheet!

You can print the PDF to fill it, *&* track the site tonight for updates once results are in (to the best of my ability).

2/ My own work consists in just a slice of the above: the local politics of criminal justice are often overlooked, & hard to decipher given a reluctance to address policy.

Hence months of preparation to draw out what's happening, laid out in this thread:

The sheriff of Alamance County, NC, a notorious right-wing official, shut down a march to the polls as an ‘unlawful assembly.’ See thread.
Here’s who we’re talking about. charlotteobserver.com/news/local/art…
Horrifying. https://t.co/oSIFslw5j7
