Sheng Thao on path to be Oakland’s next mayor, latest tally shows
Cynthia Cornejo, the deputy Alameda County registrar, said Friday night there were still 2,000 ballots left to process in the county — likely a fraction of which are from Oakland voters. The registrar on Monday will release the final results, which will then be subject to an audit.
The registrar’s office had intended to finish its count on Friday, but had 2,000 ballots left over by day’s end, Cornejo said. The race to be Oakland’s next mayor has unfolded like a slow-burn thriller, with the city’s ranked-choice voting format pushing Thao firmly back into contention this week after she fell behind early.
“We had a strong ground game made up of rank-and-file working people in Oakland who did our best to contact as many people as possible, starting early and until the last minute,” Unger said. Taylor and Thao’s campaigns have been almost entirely radio silent this week, repeatedly declining press interviews but promising to speak up when all the votes are counted.
But the results Friday may have created a margin that proves too difficult for Taylor to beat in however many votes are left to process from the 2,000 countywide ballots.
