With about 1,000 ballots (including provisional ballots) left to be counted and the difference margin will likely be less than 0.50%, the city council race for D8 appears to head for an automatic recount. After 33,889 ballots counted, Sylvia Arenas is 51 votes ahead of Jimmy Nguyen, 50.08% vs. 49.92%.
The race is far from over for both candidates as they practically are living out of the ROV building for almost two weeks now. This will mark the second time this year a race involved Vietnamese-American candidate is facing recount. And the margin of victory could be decided by a few votes.
