Tuesday November 11, 2014 - 07:01:00 AM

The Alameda County Registrar of Voters issued a new report of votes in Berkeley's Council District 8 election at 1:34 a.m. which showed Lori Droste now leading by only four votes at 2058 votes (50.05%) to George Beier's 2054 votes (49.95%) after allocation of second and third choice votes using the ranked choice method. The Registrar's office is closed for Veterans' Day, but the count is not yet complete, it appears. Analysis will follow.
