Just in case you missed the final results, Pierluigi Oliverio will face Steve Tedesco in March in the runoff to represent District 6 on the San Jose City Council.

Tedesco’s lead over Clark Williams narrowed a bit from the 101 orginally reported on election night. Jim Spence wasn’t far behind, either, trailing Williams by a scant 251 votes:

PIERLUIGI OLIVERIO: 6,984 Votes (30.57%)
STEVE TEDESCO: 4,938 (21.61%)
CLARK WILLIAMS: 4,889 (21.4%)
JIM SPENCE: 4,638 (20.3%)
ART MAURICE: 820 (3.59%)
BRAD IMAMURA: 579 (2.53)

The SJ Mercury News reported the final results late last week, after the Registrar of Voters finished its tally, which now includes absentee ballots and provisional ballots.

The WG Resident had declared Oliverio and Tedesco the finalists earlier in November. Although its monthly press deadline was unforgiving, the WG Times published its election coverage this week, providing additional biographies of the three top candidates.

WGx extends appreciation to Williams and Spence, who have been gracious in their narrow defeats … but one does wonder what difference could have been made by the 579 people who wasted votes on Brad Imamura, who had dropped form the race weeks earlier.
