Ben Allen trails in insurance commissioner race as count continues

Santa Monica's Ben Allen is 4.4 percent behind San Francisco's Jane Kim, with only 55 percent of statewide ballots counted.

By Hans Laetz

The race for California Insurance Commissioner is not yet open statewide. Only 55 percent of the votes have been counted, leaving seven million ballots left to process as of early Thursday morning.

Santa Monica's Ben Allen is behind, but it's too close to declare a winner. The former Santa Monica-Malibu school board member is 4.4 percent behind San Francisco's Jane Kim in the race. Both are Democrats.

That race is still too close to call.
