Here's the LA Times article, and here's the complete vote count. Two 40-something Democrats will face off in the second round on 6 June. The two top vote-getters combined—Jimmy Gomez and Robert Lee Ahn—did not receive 50% of the total votes cast in this light-turnout special election.
This morning I am kicking myself (gently) because I had not taken much interest in this race, having just assumed that maybe a handful of Democrats had lined up for it, only to find out in the afterglow that there were twenty. Yesterday I mentioned that CA-34 was a heavily Democratic district, but wow.
Apart from the lone Green Party candidate Kenneth Mejia, the Republicans and Libertarians each put forth one candidate. There was one independent candidate, Mark Padilla, labeled NPP for No Party Preference.
