Orphaned references in Katie Porter

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Katie Porter's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Primary Election":

• From Jahana Hayes: "2018 Connecticut primary election results". Retrieved June 22, 2019.
• From Josh Harder: "2018 California primary election results" (PDF). Retrieved 10 June 2019.

Reference named "General Election":

• From Bill Foster (politician): "General election results". Chicago Tribune. 2008-03-08.
• From 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in California: "2018 California general election results" (PDF). Retrieved 10 June 2019.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 04:33, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Personal life > too intimate?

I don't find details in the Personal life section to be appropriate for a WP:BLP, and would suggest summarizing this valid content to exclude the lurid details. (re: "According to Porter, her husband punched her, shoved her one-year-old daughter across the kitchen, threatened to kill himself, and hurled profane insults at her family.[28]" > ie: Sunny Clark (talk) 17:36, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Sunny Clark, Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED, though that doesn't mean we need all of these details. But, we don't remove them just because they're "lurid". She's spoken about the abuse. What exactly is the BLP concern? – Muboshgu (talk) 20:58, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Spelling out details of the abuse, which currently include a minor child, does nothing to enhance the encyclopedia which should, for instance, "Summarize how actions and achievements are characterized by reliable sources ..." WP:BLPSTYLE because "it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist" WP:BLP As mentioned, a pointed summary such as 'According to Porter, after she sought divorce, Hoffman became violent, and was verbally and emotionally abusive' seems far more appropriate, whereas censorship would be removing it altogether.

Seven congressional districts in the OC?

The current version of the article mentions a "Democratic sweep of Orange County", with 7/7 seats going to Democratic candidates. However, the accompanying source mentions 7 districts but does not name them, and seems to suggest through a picture that there are only 6 districts in the county (CA-39, CA-45, CA-46, CA-47, CA-48 and CA-49). At first it might seem simple enough to search Google and find the names of the congressional districts which comprise Orange County, but I found differing lists with differing numbers of districts listed. One of these lists does seem reasonable (ocgov.com) but I feel like it might make sense to delete this claim because it's outdated in two ways: the 2020 elections have returned some seats to Republican control, and the congressional district map will be different in the 2022 elections after redistricting.
