Boudin takes narrow lead in SF DA race

As of Friday, Chesa is in the lead with 50.05 percent of the votes. Just as of Thursday, however, Loftus led the race with a 50.33 percent lead.

Boudin responded to the latest numbers on Twitter, saying, “San Francisco!! We are all feeling the momentum for change in this city!”

Candidates Nancy Tung and Leif Dautch have already been eliminated due to ranked-choice voting.

In the race for District 5 supervisor, Friday’s election results showed newcomer Dean Preston maintaining a very slight lead over Supervisor Vallie Brown.

Preston currently has 10,651 votes, just 35 votes more than Brown’s 10,616 votes. The numbers leave Preston with 50.08% of the vote, while Brown has 49.92%.

Meanwhile Proposition D, the only citywide ballot measure that seems to be in question, appears to be passing narrowly.

Currently, 67.58% of the voters voted in favor of the proposition, while 32.42% voted to oppose it.

The measure, which would impose a 3.25% tax to single rides or a 1.5% rate to shared rides for companies like Uber and Lyft, needs two-thirds majority approval to pass.

According to officials with the city’s Department of Elections, the department still has to process 15,500 ballots. That number includes about 1,500 vote-by-mail ballots and about 14,000 provisional and conditional voter registration ballots.
