Alameda County officials said that they estimate that there are 120,000 more votes remaining for the entire county.
Thursday night numbers showed that Loren Taylor was slowly moving ahead with 53.31% and Sheng Thao 46.69%, a difference of just over 2,700 votes as they try to calculate the numbers in this rank choice voting race for mayor.
The Alameda County Registrar of Voters said that they estimate that there are 120,000 more votes remaining for the entire county. They also added they don’t break that down by race. That makes it even more difficult to predict who will win. Because no one got a majority vote in this 10-person race, eight candidates were eliminated, which leaves the two front runners. Second choice votes, whose candidate was eliminated will get an additional vote, that will continue until one person gets a majority.
