EDC District 5 supe race numbers narrow

With the counting of provisional votes in the District 5 seat in El Dorado County, the contest has gotten closer.

While the two vote getters are the same as when the original tallies came in with 100 percent of the precinct reporting on June 3, the separation between the second, third, and fourth place finishers has narrowed.

The more recent numbers are:

• Sue Novasel – 1,508 votes, 38,44 percent
• Kevin Brown – 950 votes, 17.92 percent
• Angela Swanson – 938, 17.69 percent
• Kenny Curtzwiler – 936, 17.65 percent
• Gerri Grego – 656, 12.37 percent
• Teresa Piper – 300, 5.66 percent.

The top two vote getters advance to the November runoff.

A final count could be days from now, with certification of the election always coming weeks after election day.
