A week after Election Day, National School board member Cindy Lopez holds onto a narrow lead over opponent National City council incumbent Luz Molina in their race for the city’s District 1 seat.
Election results released Tuesday evening show Lopez is now up by 46 votes with 2,290 counted between the two candidates. Lopez gained one vote since the last batch of results on Monday night.
With more than 1.1 million ballots counted, San Diego County election officials estimate they still have 120,000 left to tally countywide. The next batch of results are scheduled to be posted Thursday by 6 p.m.
Jose Rodriguez and Ditas Yamane, candidates for National City mayor and council District 3, respectively, continue to hold more than 20-percentage point leads in their races.
