Mayoral candidate Dave Bronson has pulled ahead of Forrest Dunbar, who was leading earlier in the race. With more than 10,000 votes yet to be counted, Bronson’s lead may grow further, because the last three days of voting appear to favor conservatives.
Bronson is currently up by 416 votes; that’s 18,716 for Bronson, and 18,300 for Dunbar as of Friday evening.
“What it tells you is that people don’t love Dunbar the way he thinks they do,” said one political analyst.
After a slow trek to the polls during the first days of the election, conservative voters made up for lost time in the latter days. The runoff is May 11.
The Municipal Clerk’s Office said that election officials will be working at the election center on Saturday, April 10, from approximately 10 am to 3 pm. Election Officials will be processing ballot envelopes through the sorter and signature verification process, opening ballot envelopes, scanning ballots, and tabulating results. There will be additional results will be released on Saturday.
