WHO WILL FACE BILBRAY?
Primary race too close to call BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK Congressional candidates Scott Peters and Lori Saldaña will have to wait a while to see which one of them will face Rep. Brian Bilbray in a November runoff election. The two Democratic challengers ran neck-and-neck for the second spot in Tuesday’s primary election, with Peters holding a slim 1 percent (645 vote) lead after all Election Day ballots were counted. However, more than 135,000 countywide absentee ballots remained to be counted on Wednesday, SEE ELECTION, Page 11
