ELECTION 2014: Spencer extends lead in mayor's race
Updated at 10:34 a.m. Monday, November 10 in BOLD
Mayoral challenger Trish Spencer extended her lead over incumbent Marie Gilmore on Sunday, a shift that may close the door on Gilmore’s chances of keeping her seat.
Spencer now leads Gilmore by 127 votes, more than double the 58-vote lead she held when results were released Saturday. That’s after 863 additional Alameda votes were counted Sunday.
The Alameda County Registrar of Voters counted about 10,000 votes on Sunday, numbers it released on its website showed. Registrar Tim Dupuis said Monday his office has another 14,000 provisional ballots to process.
Jim Meyers also held his lead over Alameda Health Care District Board member Lynn Bratchett on Sunday; new results showed Meyers has a 179-vote lead for the third open seat on the board.
More to come.
