5,954 provisional and Vote by Mail ballots cast Tuesday in Santa Monica’s election have yet to be counted.
They are in the L.A. County Registrar’s office in Norwalk, and, according to a spokesperson, the
count didn’t begin until today (11/4), and must be completed by November 30.
The additional votes will change vote totals, but the only outcomes it might change are incumbent
Bob Holbrook’s slim lead over challenger Ted Winterer, who trails by 146 votes, and the
School Board’s Nimish Patel-Barry Snell contest.
