About 87 percent of the Humboldt County vote has been counted now, according to the Humboldt County Elections office, and what you thought you knew on Election Night is the same as what you know now.

Eureka City Council incumbents Scott Bauer and Kati Moulton win big, with — currently — about 68 percent and 62 percent of the vote, respectively. The “No on F” vote continues to hover just on the edge of 70 percent. The Arcata City Council incumbents are now almost certainly a lock, with Alex Stillman leading challenger Genevieve Serna — 2,893 votes to 2,410 votes.

Maybe the only close race? Up in Blue Lake, incumbent Adelene Jones currently trails challenger Kat Napier by only one vote. Ahead of them both are Michelle Lewis-Lusso and John Sawatzky. Three seats were open on the Blue Lake City Council, which means we’ll be waiting a while to find out whether the insurgent slate — which includes Lewis-Lusso, Sawatzky and Napier — made a clean sweep of it.
