James Johnson defeated I expected it to be a close race, and it was. Below are the city clerk's final unofficial results.
The results don't include 353 vote-by-mail ballots that were dropped off at the polls and must be processed separately, nor do they include 398 provisional ballots, which are those cast by voters at the wrong polling places, City Clerk Larry Herrera said. Those ballots won't all be verified and tallied until early next week. Will that change the election outcome? The remaining votes would have to be heavily skewed in Uranga's favor, so I doubt it.
