There is a link on the county website to a set of maps that have been posted showing “polling place closings”. I don’t know if that is any indication of which votes are counted first, but it did show Venice/MDR and San Pedro “closing*” first while El Segundo, Manhattan and Hermosa were among the last to close. The 4th update, which is what you get if you click the link now, shows all polling places closed.
It ain’t over til’ it’s over. :-)
*”closing” - I assume they mean when all of the administrative work has been completed as some did not “close” until well past the 8PM time.
