According to the latest update from the Humboldt County Elections Office, there are only about 870 votes left to count — way down from the 13,000 or so at this time last week. The Elections Office squad has been gittin ‘er done, apparently!
That said: All that counting, and no real news to report. The people we have previously reported to have won…
- Rex Bohn
- Michelle Bushnell
- Mike Wilson
- April Van Dyke
… have, in fact, won. And Measure A lost.
Any significant movement? Not really. It looks like both Bushnell and Van Dyke will finish with more than 60 percent of the vote, which is a nice symbolic milepost, I suppose. They each were barely under at this time last week.
Bohn slipped from 63.2 percent to 62.9 percent.

Meanwhile, over at the California of Secretary of State’s operation, we see that Democratic Assembly Candidate Chris Rogers seems to have widened the gap against the field, with him sitting at 21.4 percent to Rusty Hicks’ 17.9. He looks pretty solid to face Republican Michael Greer on the fall ballot.
