With Arroyo and Lara out at City Council, who will Boston voters choose as replacements?

Ricardo Arroyo and Kendra Lara — whose campaigns were both mired in controversy — both came in at least 10 points behind the second-place finisher in their race, knocking them off of the general election ballot.
