Alameda County ROV Releases Post-Election Update #2

The ROV posted Unofficial Post Election Update #2 at 5:03 p.m. on Friday, March 8, adding many more vote by mail ballots for the County to the count. So far 132,476 or 14.10 % of 939,274 registered voters in Alameda County have had their ballots counted. The City of Alameda is outpacing the county’s engagement: 12,112 ballots have been counted for Alameda Unified School District’s Measure E, 23.68% of the 51,140 voters registered in the city.

With this latest count, Measure E looks certain to be approved by voters. Currently the Yes vote tally stands at 74.13%, almost 7.5% over the threshold required for approval. In other local races of note, it is looking more likely that challenging Lateefah Simon, who holds almost half the current votes for US Congress District 12 will be facing Alameda resident Dr. Jennifer Tran, with 15.74% in November. Alameda Vice-Mayor Tony Daysog is still in the running, about 1,500 votes behind in third. All three are Democrats.

Mia Bonta, Democrat, looks likely to face returning Republican challenger Mindy Pechenuk in the General election for State Assembly District 18, but two other candidates trail by 150 and 180 votes respectively. Jesse Arreguín continues to hold more than a third of the vote in the race to replace Nancy Skinner as State Senator for Distrtict 7, with Dan Kalb, his likely November competition in second place currently.

Terry Wiley ran unopposed for Alameda County Judge of the Superior Court, Office 5, and Mark Fickes holds a nearly 13-point lead over Michael P. Johnson for Office 12. And Alameda County Board of Education Governing Board Member, Trustee Area 2, Angela Normand recieved more than triple the votes of competitor John Lewis.

Both Alameda County Measures are on their way to being approved by voters. Measure A leads by nearly 20 points in the latest count, and Measure B is up by 30 points.

The order of most Democratic Central Committee candidates has shuffled with each tally. Loren Taylor, Pamela Price, and Austin Tam have consistently held the top spots, and, with this tally, Mayra Alvarado, Warren Logan, Rowena Brown, Tracey Jensen, Laura Leigh Geist, Stewart Chen, and Hannah Groce round out the ten leaders to be elected to the committee. Of the ten, only Price and Tam are current members. All of the candidate slates are represented among these ten.
