The latest figures from the Alameda County Registrar of Voters adds nearly 10,000 votes to Berkeley totals — a nearly 30% increase on yesterday — and the closely fought West Berkeley zoning change, Measure T has changed dramatically again.
Yesterday, supporters of Measure T had inched five votes ahead of opponents. Today, the yes votes are 426 short of the no votes, the biggest gap in the contest. The registrar expects to finish counting mail in ballots tomorrow, and then his staff will move on to the 40,000 provisional ballots collected countywide.
On Measure S, the sit ordinance, opponents seem securely ahead, with a 1,407 vote lead. Berkeleyside has updated the Google Docs spreadsheet for measures S and T scenarios.
All of the other Berkeley races are where they were on election night, despite the many thousands of additional votes. Even the rent board, where 122 votes separated Alejandro Soto-Vigil in fourth and Igor Tregub in fifth on Tuesday, has not changed order. Tregub, however, is only 15 votes behind Soto-Vigil now.
