Chema Hernández GilOnly 115,415 ballots have been counted by the San Francisco Department of Elections, with at least 122,400 ballots left to process as of this morning.
Of the unprocessed ballots, 116,000 are vote-by-mail ballots returned by mail with valid postmarks, dropped off at polling places and drop boxes, and cast at the City Hall Voting Center. The remaining 6,400 are provisional ballots cast on Election Day.
Proposition D (the Overpaid CEO Act) is behind right now, but more than half of the ballots have yet to be counted, including those provisional ballots that skew progressive. We know most Election Day voters voted Yes on Prop D and I think the provisional ballots will only increase the margin, bolstered by the tens of thousands of late VBM voters.
That gives me a little bit of hope that the No on D lead will erode over the next few days, and possible victory for Prop D. In any case, it is still too close to call.
