San Francisco's Department of Elections has released a new batch of ballots, bringing the total count to 259,218, which is 49.6% of the electorate. However, around 143,000 votes remain uncounted, leaving many races, especially the mayoral contest, unclear. Although challengers have made significant gains, the final outcome remains tentative. Mayor London Breed has conceded to Daniel Lurie, who now holds a decisive lead with 56.2% of votes.
Today's election results were characterized by unpredictability, particularly in the highly contentious races for supervisor. Specifically, in District 1, the race has narrowed to a tie between Supervisor Connie Chan and Marjan Philhour, each receiving approximately 11,001 votes. This significant fluctuation points to a chaotic pattern in voting trends, which has become more pronounced in recent years. The resolution for a tied election would involve a random draw, as confirmed by Elections director John Arntz.
As Mayor London Breed congratulated her opponent, Daniel Lurie, she reflected on her time in office saying, 'Being Mayor of San Francisco has been the greatest honor of my lifetime. I'm beyond grateful to our residents for the opportunity to serve the City that raised me.' This sentiment highlights her dedication to the community and her unexpected exit from the race.
