WHAT'S LEFT TO COUNT?

Provisionals - 78,394

UPDATED RESULTS
The percentages remain about the same. Genis extended her lead on Mensinger. Stephens gained another 22 votes on Monahan for the critical third spot. 7,143 balots left to count. It looks like the non-candidate candidates, Melone and Rader, may total over 5,000 votes when the counting ends!
7,729 ballots left to count
6,578 ballots left to count
Relax, have a nice weekend with this perfect fall weather and just wait for the next bombshell to drop.

Is this a protest vote? What a complete WASTE!
people tend to pick the first name and last name on the ballot when the don't know how to pick. Those positions get bonus votes.
Sando -- Nah, it's probably people doing Martin Millard-style "bullet" voting, or else Chinese restaurant menu picks (one from group A, two from group B).
It's now showing:
GARY MONAHAN 12,259 15.7%
JOHN STEPHENS 12,069 15.5%
Although, I couldn't tell how may more votes were to be counted
Hey,
Malone and Rader distorted the final results?
More significantly, Weirzberg had a tremendous negative impact on the top three's results -- all his votes (about 10,000) would have likely changed who will be seated for the next 2 years were he not running!
