Area 1 Outcome Still Undecided...

C Jennet Stebbins and James Grunsky are in a near tie, with many mail-in ballots yet to count.

Grunsky, the SJDCTA endorsed candidate, may still have a chance to win the Area 1 seat on the board. After vote totals were posted late Tuesday evening or early Wednesday, showing Grunsky trailing Stebbins by 1,348.

But, there are still MANY ballots to be counted:

--23,000 vote-by-mail ballots
--12,500 provisional ballots
-- 5,400 damaged ballots

Over 40,000 votes uncounted in San Joaquin County alone. There must be at
least a few thousand more from Contra Costa and Calaveras counties.

The outcome is far from certain!

The SJCROV is shooting for final totals and certification before Thanksgiving.
