As Election Night draws to a close, Pierluigi Oliverio has cruised into the run-off election for San Jose City Council District 6 (scheduled for March 6, 2007). Steve Tedesco appears to have edged out Clark Williams — by only 101 votes — and is separated from Jim Spence by another 100 votes.
The Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters Election Results are updated online every 30 minutes, as votes are counted. Shortly after midnight Wednesday morning, 74 of 74 District 6 precincts had been counted:
PIERLUIGI OLIVERIO: 5798 votes; 30.45%
STEVE TEDESCO: 4128 votes; 21.68%
CLARK WILLIAMS: 4027 votes; 21.15%
JIM SPENCE: 3923 votes; 20.6%
ART MAURICE: 687 votes; 3.61%
… and 481 people wasted their votes on Brad Imamura (481 votes, 2.53%) who dropped out of the race a month ago. Could they have made a difference instead? We will never know …
