Progressives will likely be ousted from control of the powerful Democratic Central County Committee and are losing badly on two major ballot measures, Propositions F and E, which would mandate drug screening and treatment for some welfare recipients, and loosen SF police oversight.

Both Superior Court judges are likely to retain their seats.

Proposition A, the affordable housing bond, is very close to the two-thirds approval required for passage.
